It looks tooo much like a Lexus ES...I hate to say it, the front of the ES looks better than this. The front is just tooo narrow.

Once MB publicly shows a car, that's pretty much it. I wouldn't expect any major "updates" from this point.

You are right, this will be pretty much it.

As most already know, these "concept car" images were not real anyway. There are simply the brainchild of a design firm in Germany that interprets spypics & other info into computer/photochopped images being sold to carmagazines.

Personally, I don't mind the departure from the four headlight look...

is it just me or do the door windows look way too small from a vertical perspective? either the doors are too high or the windows are too short.
