man, that thing looks awful.
My thoughts Bad -deff. looks like they were after the old school driver's car look, but they failed in capturing a coherent form. - It looks as though they pulled a number of classically beautiful design cues out of a hat and stuck them all over a donkey. -The design team got nervous and over-designed it. -It starts off hard at the front and get's soft going to the rear. Good -the seats look great! -side profile looks pretty good especially with the doors up.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's ugly, but for that bracket of car, I feel it is a little bit of a snoozer. Just plain boring in some areas. The rear-end doesn't look like the natural design progression. The front seems a touch misguided, under-developed I'd say. I'm a little disappointed overall. Much rather have the SLR!
Nissan/Infiniti lights, original Gullwing doors, Maybach rear. the old SLR started to look old, but I don't like this new one.
let me update that observation: * Nissan/Infiniti lights, * original Gullwing doors + grill * Maybach + (new) Acura rear
never had a mb but like them and considering buying a new s550 or cl550 for this january. they just cannot get sports models right ie. slr, sl black series, and now this. cannot consider this over the 458 for any reason such as style, sound, performance, driver involvement, etc. they should stick to lux cars and thats it.
It's as if they've mated a Gullwing and Acura TL and not necessarily in a good way. Both are good looking cars on their own and the Gullwing is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cars ever made. This? Not so much.
Please dear lord... Stop this crazy retro thing before we start remaking 2CV's and Plymouth Valiants!!! This is horrible.
+1 I think that SLS is one of the prettiest cars I've ever seen. Ever. Headlights are a bit GTR-ish though. But I just can't stop looking at the pictures of that car.
It does not look like a Z8. Please do not put down the Z8 like that. All I will say about that is that the *proportions* and *stance* are similar to that of a Z8. i.e. elongated hood, short tail, distinct cockpit roofline, etc. Nothing else is the same compared to a Z8 imo which is one of the most beautiful modern cars ever made.
