One from the front.

That’s an improvement, now change the color from white to red, I think it’d look acceptable.

That looks good, but as Swissbob mentioned, the colour was red it would look fantastic. In silver and blue the same as the CLA it could also look great.

I like the full width lightbar.

return to the origins... of desire

Back to the roots: Sieht so eine mögliche Mercedes-Zukunft aus?

Dieses Mercedes-Konzept verbindet klassische Design-Elemente mit moderner Formensprache – und erinnert an die großen Benz-Modelle der 90er.

Can’t wait till Benz is great again & out of this EQ mess. With Baudy there is hope !

They should take a break, rethink their design strategy because the cars are looking more and more awful. I would say BMW Neue Klasse is more successful and Audi’s direction with the Concept C is far more attractive than either design aesthetic. The fact of the matter is, no matter how good the tech/engineering is, if the car is ugly it won’t sell well to the masses as most people aren’t “car people”, they’re just customers.

None of that is even feasible at this point. The designs are done and ready to go. To just "take a break" would cause massive losses and result in a company truly in financial crisis. Everyone cries about looks, but I've been waiting for a while to see a direct correlation to sales drops and styling. OUTSIDE of the EQ cars. More successful to whom and how? You mean liked online? Sure. The SUV is good looking for sure, but the i3 sedan looks terrible, again IMO, just like your take on Mercedes' newest models is your opinion. Not everyone finds the same cars ugly or good looking. They'll be just fine. A lot of comments on this forum are really detached from reality at times.

For what it's worth:

IMHO, M-B AMG corporate product promotion seriously dropped the ball with the AMG 4 door GT EV presentation vehicles.
