Anytime.

I can live with this. It isn't spectacularly pretty ...but it isn't bad either.

The Artist · 05-10-2008, 11:26 AM

wow i really like that..it looks agressive and elegant..somehow

PS
Good to see you back in buisness rob...

SDNR · 05-10-2008, 12:36 PM

BTW, what's with those Audi-style fog lights

The Artist · 05-10-2008, 01:18 PM

i guess they got the inspiration from this:

Mr. Mercedes · 05-10-2008, 07:46 PM

It does indeed, but Mercedes usually nails proportions. This one is-ill proportioned.

I think it's just the CGI.

MADE SOME OTHER CHOPS:

Family Guy · 05-12-2008, 03:22 AM

Hard Top Or Soft Top For Cabrio?

Merc1 · 05-12-2008, 04:03 AM

Supposed to be a soft top with a twist, heated fabric.

M

tennmb · 05-12-2008, 09:45 AM

I hope for a softtop. The hardtops eat up too much space. We traded for a 07 BMW convert and the back seat and trunk were horrible, even though the car grew in external dimensions.

Huckfeldt nails it yet again.

tennmb · 05-15-2008, 11:58 AM

The CGI seems to have it more chubby than the spy pics indicate. The car looks leaner and wider in real life than Hucks images. Although he appears to have the basics correct such as basic shape, lights, rear fender treatment, side mirrors, etc.

Should be a nice improvement.

GBOY · 05-15-2008, 01:58 PM

Imagine this with the AMG kit. Whoa!

I like the way the character line blends into the rear wheel arch here.
Nice!

Ìs the next CLK convertible getting a hardtop or a cloth roof?

Cloth!

Great news since there are barely any four seater CC out there which doesn't look weird.

Nice!

I don't like that, well to fussy with the lines on the side and the boot lid is t o bland

But other than that I can see potential for this car

Mr. Mercedes · 05-15-2008, 04:28 PM

There's something very ungainly about these CGI's. I hope they're wrong.

It's not pretty and it's not even sporty. It's nothing!

SDNR · 05-15-2008, 06:41 PM

The pseudo-fender over the rear wheels is not working for me at all -- why oh why?

ree · 05-16-2008, 08:47 AM

Maybe some new shots: It looks like it will get LEDs!!
