Mercedes-Benz E-Class GT Imagines the Possibilities, But Should It?

I'll probably be in the minority here, but I don't think it looks horrible. It wouldn't be my model of choice, for sure, but I think it looks OK. I'd like to see a rendering of the straight-on side view to get a better feel for how the rear end would look.

I hope they skip this and give us the infinitely cooler long-roof.

Ugly. Just like the CrossTour, the BMW, hell it looks a bit like an Aztec. Mercedes, please don't follow ugly down the lane. We can hold our heads up high about not having produced a Panamera-type mutation (barf), but we still have to deal with that maligned Crossfire somewhere in our DNA. Please, stop the insanity. You know what looks good and what you are trying to produce to pacify a subgroup of your potential customers. Do you really think you can sell enough of these one-offs to make up for the development costs? And the embarrassment?
