Do You Love or Loathe This Carlsson Mercedes S-Class?



This S-Class is such a departure, it needed a new name!

I recall my uncle owned a W116 S class sedan with a somewhat similar light green paint from the factory, when I was a kid.

No, I don't love this Carlsson S class cab. LOL

These colors seem to do ok in Germany vs here.
Not my cup of tea however.

Surely an awesome car, but this choice of external paint makes it a joke.

I like the color. I like the car. But I really don't like that color on that car.

Unfortunately this is an embarrassment for a Tuner and an example of a failed project...this color is the color of the Fiat 500, so right there they have cheapened the car. As once a successful tuner, this project has no engine upgrades, no body accents or aero improvements, and that 20 inch wheel application dates back to the W140. This is really a shame that they would put out something like this, but Carlsson in Germany has been sold 2-3 times over and they must be still trying to find a new identity, but based on this example...horrible concept.

I'm very late but that thing is atrocious. The logo on the grill, the horrible wheels, and the color puke green? Nope, send it back.

Paint color is not horrible although I would NEVER choose it. Paint job looks good and seems to have eliminated Mercedes thick orange peel. The interior looks awesome but also looks like its stock Designo color. Changing the front MB star to their logo cheapens the vehicle. Wheels are horrible.
