Mercedes F700 Concept Luxury Sedan @ Frankfurt Auto Show

Re: Frankfurt Preview: Mercedes to unveil F700 luxury sedan

So early, when W211 is still in production?

I don't think so.

It is strange indeed the car is covered: especially when S 300 Bluetec Hybrid is presented without any cover.

The E 300 Bluetec Hybrid is not expected before 2010..

yeah, it does have that american feel to it. I don't know yet, wanna see the entire product before judging it

Re: Frankfurt Preview: Mercedes to unveil F700 luxury sedan

According to Welt.de, the E300 Bluetec-hybrid is under a black cover....
...because it is the all-new 2009/2010 E-Class! It will make a short appearance, of course under camo, but maybe less camo than usual? Otherwise why showing it at the IAA?

Wait and see, but I don't understand why they show the 2009/2010 version so soon! Even if I'm happy to have a look at it, hoping it will be more or less naked...At least oly under light camo, inside as outside.

Yeah it -like almost all new MBs- has a very American taste, which is sad in my opinion.

Well, I agree that this bit of F700 really looks like a Cad' Sixteen.

But the new Mercedes are not American-looking, on the contrary they are back to the core-Benz values, and looks very German, very "old-school Benz" in my opinion. The new C-Class has strong 190-accents, the interior of the new E-Class has some W124 inspiration...

I think that's a chop. All the pictures on CWW are chops only.

Re: Frankfurt Preview: Mercedes to unveil F700 luxury sedan

Could be the real deal. Sharp lines, giant wheelbase, no rear overhang...

The interior will be like that too (there was a video of the construction of the the F700 on a German site, I saw, no details but views of the very special seats and general view of the dashboard) and the central structure of the car.

Holy crap! I guess this confirms that F still stands for Fugly.

Ugly but an F concept was never meant to be beautiful.

Re: Frankfurt Preview: Mercedes to unveil F700 luxury sedan

I don't think it's ugly.. I think I like it
gotta be quite prestigoues IRL. I'll have to save my full opinion for next week when I see it myself.

Re: Frankfurt Preview: Mercedes to unveil F700 luxury sedan

The front looks good but the shot of the view and the interior look terrible. Will probably hold on with my verbal whip until I have seen more shots.

Mind that F Concept cars are not previews of upcoming models - like eg. CGT Vision, or CLS Vision, or Ocean Drive Concept did.


F Conceps usually showcase upcoming tech, and perhaps some particular design cue - mostly design details (eg grille, headlight or rearlight cluster design etc).
