Looks great, thanks

Vivaki · 01-15-2007, 12:42 PM

Enjoy!! The only thing I dont like is the lack of wood in the interior

ree · 01-15-2007, 12:42 PM

When will you post the other pictures Vivaki?

ree · 01-15-2007, 12:44 PM

Excellent idea.... DONE!

Looking forward to more of the pics buddy...

ree · 01-15-2007, 12:46 PM

In my opinion, this is one of the first forums, that have pictures out of the catalogue !!

The Artist · 01-15-2007, 12:49 PM

^lol thats not your opinion thats a FACT

PS
Im loving this car.. especially with the AMG package..its funny how they can make transform from classy to sporty with that grill.. no compromises..
the interior im not to happy about yet..but i belive its due to the colour combo..so i would like to see more..

PC Valkyrie · 01-15-2007, 12:50 PM

This is an awesome forum. Many thanks to Vivaki for these pics!!

I'll be honest here. I'm not a fan of that big star on the grill for the Avant Garde and AMG Sport Package models. And the pics of the interior are not that impressive. That large black upper centre console could be better.

Unlike the W203, this car's external lines are deliberately not as smooth and flowing. Will have to see the car in real life to really know.

NarutoRamen · 01-15-2007, 12:53 PM

I'm liking this car..but I want original pics..LOL Anyways, the lack of wood in the interior is kind of dissapointing. But i'll need to see official pics to be sure.

etlomotey · 01-15-2007, 12:54 PM

Thank a million man, you have put a lot of us out of our misery, looking forward to more, congrats.

etlomotey · 01-15-2007, 12:58 PM

Hi Guys now I'm not sure if its out of excitment, or my eyes need testing, but it seems the wing mirrors are a touch smaller, am I correct?

Just_me · 01-15-2007, 01:02 PM

My first impressions: the front with AMG package is superduper nice, without the package the front is alright. the interior is alright but I hate the steering wheel.

Im still waiting for more sharp and detail photos before I decide what I really think.

MercFan · 01-15-2007, 01:12 PM

I can't believe!!!

I hate this interior!!!

P.S. Vivaki, thanks.

Vivaki · 01-15-2007, 01:14 PM

These pics are thanks to Gunni. I did actually see the brochure yesterday lol but not in my property or for me to post. Someone else has been naughty for posting these before thursday and my good friend (when I mean good I mean really really good friend

) figured that the brochure has been leaked and I was able to post them here. Im sure there will be more pics coming from different sources now that one person has put up these pics.

I think the exterior is fine...I know some will like the star on the grill and some wont but I think it works great with the AMG kit and it looks normal/fine on the avantgarde. Rest of the exterior looks nice, new and fresh.

Interior not so good as IMO it lacks wood going across the dash (I bet they leave that till the facelift or something

) Quality will be good but there could have been more to it.

Just_me · 01-15-2007, 01:17 PM

Do people here honestly like the steering wheel?
I dont know if its the angle of the shot but steering wheel look really weird in my eyes.

Whole interior look like a disaster for me!

Imhotep Evil · 01-15-2007, 01:26 PM

Kind of too american, with the eurospec headlight/eyebrow.
AMG looks cool tough.
Interior, this can't be a Mercedes...

Tumbo · 01-15-2007, 01:56 PM

The one with the star grille looks awesome. The other one, boring. I like the interior! Very nice car overall. Want to see more from the rear. I really like the new Benzes nowadays. Together with Audi, their designs really are futuristic, without "overdone", like BMW's.

Osnabrueck · 01-15-2007, 01:57 PM

Looks good, but hits a flat note with me personally. I don't like Benz going "chunk line" with this car.

But... (wait for it) ... I'll reserve my final judgement when I see one in person.
