Now THAT is a new MB that I can get into! Give me that car and a G-Wagen and a long stretch of desert highway, and I'll be happy for quite a while.

You see this is a good example of "CHANGE" and what I mean when I say that BMW has never done a change like this!


This is one good looking car.

How about that car made into a G wagen like Jim Rogers did with old SLK?

Now thats a itty-bitty car a man can actually feel OK about driving.

Here's another couple of pics. I too think it could be more restrained; I think the nose cone thing is unnecessary and will date; otherwise I like it. In AMG guise I'd have no shame about driving it: 360bhp 5.4litre V8.

On the contrary, I think the nose cone will be a favourite for quite some time to come. MB stole that concept from the tuner Carlsson. The roof line, however, reminds me of the Lexus SC. A sweet car none the less.
