Its definitely very odd and not exactly the shape of car we are accustomed to. The only thing I can say for sure that I like is the SLR McLaren inspired front bumper

As long as they dont curse it with the C-Classes' cheap-looking plasticky interior.

I just don't see this catching on. It looks cool but...I wouldn't be so excited to drive it.

If you've not driven it, how can you comment on "excitement" then?

Yes, based on the looks of the car, I can say I wouldn't be excited to drive it. Much like I don't have to drive a golf cart to tell you I am not excited to drive it based on what it looks like.

fyi...I have driven a golf cart...and can say it can be both thrilling and exciting ^_^

Interesting design, suicide doors would go nice with it. 1/2 Wagon or stretched hatchback?

Never noticed before but if this is the new MB grille, the nose looks a lot like Acuras aside from the GS headlights.

Almost as purposeful as the X6, which is nil

Headlights are 90% GS. Front bumper very new SL65 AMG and the rear fender crease line looks like the BMW CS concept/Dodge Charger. There are some very beautiful design cues in it but i don't like the overall shape. It's a wagon. Sedan would have been good.
