Horrible... Looks like an S2000 crossed with a Miata. They've taken all the Mercedes look away from it, aside from the SLR front clip.

Well normally, the four-door camouflage could be real (as MB has been putting on fake rear doors on some of the newer test cars like the future 2-door A-Class to confuse people), but this photo is obviously not real - just look at the roof line, especially at the rear, as well as the very elongated look of the car

I AGREE!!!! it looks like a RX8 in the rear, and a Uglified S2000 front. Bleh! Why is Mercedes introducing the SLR look?

Are you talking about the b uttons on the steering wheel?
The current models have similar buttons.

Two are for volume.
Two are for shifting through screens on the display in the speedometer.
Two are for scrolling within those screens.
Two are for the phone; pick up and hang up.

I agree with you. The front doesn't look good. It looks like a lip with a cleft palate.
