LOL!

Another German complete failure.

It is amazing to see BMW and Mercedes absolutely ruin some of their new designs.
IMHO BMW in now way ruined the new designs. What model design you dislike?

Looks awful!! Side profile looks like a slightly smaller S Class, and the rear looks like a Lexus. Front looks ok though... Still no match for BMW!

The rear end reminds me somewhat of what Audi is doing with the A8 - a bit different, but I am still given a sense of modern German styling when I look at it. Still, I agree with those that said the whole lot is going downhill. I am absolutely stumped on what car to get when I do a company lease in a year or so.

I thought I was looking at a Cadillac CTS. Then I realized it was a Merc. What the F is going on with them over there? The styling is just so blah!!! I mean, their interiors are 2nd to none, but man, they need to work on EVERYTHING else.

I'd say it's about a 9 iron. Looks good from about 140 yards away.
