Newer MB's That Do Look Pretty Good
The W210 is a great looking car, and the front-end four lamp face is formidable. In my opinion, it is a bit more intimidating than a narrow-nosed W124. Especially with xenons and lower fogs on.

I get a lot of looks with my R107. Of course the new R230 is practically just as stunning from the exterior. Gorgeous, absolutely GORGEOUS car! Its too bad they don't make a diesel version.
Can you argue that the W220 is an ugly car? OK maybe the taillights are a little bland until 2003, but the overall shape and stance is perfectly "S-Class". The interior is not typical MB quality as we already know.
