I said this car wasn’t gonna look right.

It was starting to look promising towards the launch…I guess they should’ve kept the camouflage, lol.

it doesn't look good from this angle,it looks bulbous!!

I'm... confused.

The camouflaged spy shots looked better. This looks like an awkward blob.. not as awkward as the EQE/EQS but.. eesh.

Honey, I shrank the GLC...

Well, not looking very majestic - to be honest. Same blown-up, egg shape of the CLA, somewhat elongated, and with a lot of GLC traits.

MB seems lost in its design philosophy.

 

[Gor134]

GLC definitely looks better. The wheel arches give the GLC a bit of muscularity visually.

C EV should've had some stronger fender lines at least

I think it looks great from the side. Traditional long front, swooping 4-door coupe design…What’s the matter?

Idk. I mean this is what we expected clearly, yet somehow it isnt. (?) the problem is in the details. SugarDesigns renders were very close to the camo car, and most people really liked them, lets just compare the small details:

On the renders the front appeared sharper, every details was more rectangular, the grill somewhat wider, headlights a bit smaller, while the production model has a tall and very rounded grille. Seems like thats the general issue - too rounded everywhere.

I personally would have preferred the GLC taillights as they are, big chunky everywhere, but the whole rear gives EQE vibes. The renders were simply too good in this case.

Anyways its still better than the EQE, and will hold my final judgement until I see it on video, in detail, such limited/leaked photos dont tell the whole story.

Here it looks good indeed

Similar coupe/curves lines at the new A5 but a touch more blobby. The half of the car makes it look like an inflated CLA.

Must admit that I wholeheartedly agree. That particular image is very unflattering IMHO.

Personally, I find the C-Class EQ sedan more attractive than both the GLC EQ and MMA CLA. The side window graphics of the former annoy me. The "tricycle cloaked under a padded tarp" side profile architecture of the latter annoy me. The C-Class EQ sedan is superior at least in these two aspects IMHO.

Otherwise, it's fine for what should be M-B's entry level sedan. No Adonis by any means, but quite acceptable. But the future E-Class EQ sedan will have to up the game significantly.

You could say that about almost any up and coming mercedes.

I can't lol.

Gents these are not really good images and that frontal shot was taken low down and at a 3/4 angle that why the front looks higher. From what I can see I think it looks good and will probably look better when we see video shots on the road.

Exactly.

 

[martinbo]

I'm not seeing as much of an issue here. It think it looks good and far better than the current EQ sedans.

And the site has run amok with silly renderings, altered images, and other junk that serves no purpose other than to confuse.
