You ever seen a girl with gorgeous body, perfect skin, beautiful face, except she is cock eyed?
The eyes are the life of the face, and the lights are the eyes of a car. What a freakin retarded decision. Otherwise gorgeous car. Both roadsters, the SL and SLK have eyes that don't match the rest of the package. The C-class lights look better by far. The eye simply don't fit the face. Which is a shame, because it detracts so much from enjoying the otherwise lovely shape.
Regarding the R230. That guy is a moron. The R230 introduced the first car with standard ABC, SBC (a failure though) and quite a few other innovations. A top that would fold itself in under 16 seconds was pretty remarkable as well. The R230 was light years ahead of the block of metal it replaced. A lot of people were enamoured with the R129, but the offset dash controls, and clumsy buttons, were not all that innovative. Compared with what it replaced, it was amazing, but only because it replaced a car so antiquated. Not even power seats. I've not been impressed with how the R129s hold up over the long haul. Keeping a body style that long won't cut it today, so look for major revisions no more than 8 years at most. MB could save a ton, by building the best damn chassis out there, and then just freshening the metal outside and the inside materials. Looks like this chassis may be it. But why not a space frame that you can literally change all the exterior sheet metal on, just by matching up the bolt points.
