Oh dear...I cannot shake the suspicion that this is not going to end well.

"Mission (E) Control to Taycan: We DON'T have a problem."

Not sure what the histrionics are about. Doesn't look bad at all, and it's just a render.

I've seen you flip and flop about this car quite a lot. How about we just wait for it to be revealed .

True. When the first more heavily camo'd prototypes were captured on film, the silhouette of the car really knocked me dead. More camo started coming off and some of the flank sculpturing was disclosed under the thin film of foil. Looked stellar IMHO. Fast forward. The GT XX concept disappointed me a bit. And then...holes drilled in the pre-production prototypes hood camocladding indicated that those ghastly air outlets of the GT XX concept would be replicated on the production car. This most recent rendering indicate that as well. Also not a fan of what the headlamps and front grill/shield appear to look like. The carbon fiber trim piece on the front fender is superfluous. The Maybach R232 Monogram series and the AMG Mythos PureSpeed are so immensely tacky that I began to become increasingly skeptical with regard to the M-B design resurgence that I had been hoping for. And now, these GLC/C-Class EQ vehicles...uhhh...lukewarm.

Pardon me that my expectations were high. I can get carried away, admittedly. I'm pretty passionate, albeit not immensely knowledgable, when it comes to design. I'm not quite clever enough to thoroughly analyize the mechanicals and electronics. I was so hoping for a formidable resurgence of M-B design following the unfortunate first EQ vehicles. Now, I'm simply skeptical.

I agree. While I don't like the hood scoops at all, nothing here offends me.

Looks awful
