New S Coup

I like everything except the nose. Not a fan of the grill sticking out past the bumper and the lights. I think it would look better if it were smoothed out. I really like the pano roof and the dash. The lines in the door panel by the seat controls are pretty slick too.

Crap..... missed the 'e' in "Coupe" Can someone fix my title?

Not a fan. The exteriors not to bad for what it is I guess. I think I just really don't like all those wavy lines and curves and stuff. Makes me think they're trying to hide some design flaw or something. Like the body below the glass is too large in relation to the cabin. The C pillar is weak looking and it better have a hellacious arcticly capable ac system to deal with that greenhouse.

The interior reminds me of a spaceship from the last Star Wars movie. It could be an interesting new design paradigm I guess. Not sure about it actually. it may have potential but the lack of a center arm rest pisses me off.

108, 116, 126. Guess I'm just a curmudgeon.

I like the front, but from the side it's stunning. It does has some design cues from the SLS, my favorite Mercedes. I'm no fan of the new E and C coupes, I think they go the right direction with the S-class.

I do enjoy a bowl of Neoguri Ramen from time to time, or sometimes Shin Ramyun, maybe with an egg and some kimchi.

Looks pretty nice to me. In about fifteen years I can afford to buy one used I suppose. My 84 500 SEC probably remains the handsomest car I have owned. I called it the silver bullet and made many fast paced road trips with it. Head for the highway and set the cruise on 85. Just keep the tank full, it liked a lot....but at least it was RUG.

It will probably cost more in 15 years to maintain due to all the electronics. Better get one now.

I don't like the soft design edges. The front of the new E class is kind of lame as well. IMHO the 2014 CTS is a sharper looking car.



Cadillac's new coupe if they build it is a real looker.

I really like the look of the interior. Clean, uncluttered lines. Smooth, flowing transitions. It conveys power and security with grace. I'm with you on the nose. Looks like something Chrysler already did.

That's a bold, raw power look. How is it inside, Hatt?
