Take a look...the front has got to go. It's completely destroying the look of the car.

seems as if MB gave designers from their Chrysler division a chance to step up to the plate.

I have not seen an MB that looked like crap. They do take some getting used to but I have always liked the MB designs. Cant say the same for what BMW is coming up with lately.

What MB is doing is making essentially a miniature verison of the new SLR (being built by race team McLaren).



That's why the new SLK is probably going to have this nose. It's supposed to emulate the look of the front of a formula one race car. Although the nose looks better on the longer hooded SLR.

Cheers, BT
