I'm also not terribly fond of the back of the car, and I kind of feel like the wheel wells are too small. Everything from the front bumper to the C pillars is stellar, and it just kind of loses me after that.

From certain angles the rear looks great, though. It's just a shame that the rear is so "meh" considering that's what most people will be seeing. That is what the AMG badge is for, right?

I think the rear looks great here:


And here:


But awful from here:

As said earlier, those exhaust tips, just don't add up. Otherwise, it's simply a winner already.

Definitely a sexy beast, but some getting used to is in order for me also. The mirrors stand out to me the way they are placed on the door though. Anybody else have opinions on that?

Yeah, it's kinda odd but doesn't really bother me much. The tailights bother me A LOT but I won't stop driving one because of the tailights. The car is sick and the interiors are double sick and the engine is triple sick. I'd hit it big time...in about 6 years when it's worth $40K...lol.
