Thumbs up Official pics (according to Auto Express magazine)

If you pick up the latest Auto Express they have an article and some pics that according to them come straight from MB. Anywho, real or not, the car sure looks great. I completely hated the nose thing on previous pictures, but now I think it actually compliments the design, i hate to admit it but I think the nose works well. If this is what the final design looks like, i'm buying it .



Here are some scans from mbslk.de

I have to agree, I didn't like the nose either but it does work well in these pictures.
