facelift

Has anybody seen the facelift SL, CLS, and SLK, and their new style of door mirrors, the way the turn signal looks...am I the only person who hates how they look. I wish they would've at least tried to do something like the new C and the ML and GL facelift... to me they make the car look funny and far less attractive.







maybe im just crazy but i think they look terrible..

I agree, I started a poll on the SL55 forum and 50%+ of people who responded don't like the facelift.

I think it looks awful, absolutely terrible, down to the EU pedestrian crash regulations.

i dont mind the front end toooo much but i would have preferred if they kept it like most facelifts...just adding some sort of change to the appearance of the front end not a shape change. the mirrors just stand out to me as something too chunky and oddly shapped...and the fact the indicators are different now makes it look sick.

i just don't know why the mirrors had to get sooooo big and ugly. it's not going to help drivers that have no driving ability to begin with.
