Mercedes-Benz reveals Ocean Drive Concept

Now, this is a totally different concept than the previous S cabriolet we were shown renderings of before. Talk about giving us so many variants now, that choosing will be one of life's most difficult tasks! At least Merc is finally starting to offer enough models for us hard-core individualists that want something different. Let's see what you think:

It looks a lot like the baby blue Lincoln Continental concept that was on display by Ford about 5 or so years ago, but also has subtle Chrysler 300 overtones.

On the other hand, the side sculpting is probably a pretty good foreshadowing of the midlife refresh for the new S-class in a few years. I think they've (rightly) concluded that the maniacally flared front fenders are a tad overstated in their current form...
