im guessing this new model would have to grow on some people including my self... but i really prefer the older models since they had a design purpose that derived from the F1 or with F1 in mind. and even older more "original" models derived from its racing heritage but this new model is the same car but with different changed purpose in mind i think... i dont know why MB messed with the formula... i mean it was never a 911 but i think with in MB line up, it sure had a 911 like merit. you dont see porsche doing that with their 911.

I didn't know they made a 2-seater Sebring.

They made it very organic and focused on making details jewel-like...not sure if this kind of design language should be associated with Benz's typically geometric tradition.

Also can't stand that line trailing off the top edge of the outer intake ducts.

The first time I saw pictures of this T actually hated it. But every time I see them again it keeps growing on me!

I can't get past those gigantic headlights and lower grill. The whole front end looks bulbous. What were they thinking?

The problem with this car is it's predecessor, R230. They still look really great after all these years, true classics. and that's because this thing doesn't grow on me, I expected something much better.

The fisheye headlights aren't doing it for me. I like the current model much better.

I said the same thing about the Panamera looks horrible in pictures and I hated it, but in person I actually like it from most angles

+1, and it also looks like they combined the Audi LED design with the BMW brow to avoid a patent issue.

interior is sweet, but the entire exterior is horrendous.
