I know these are probably renditions/chopped, but what's with that 7 series eyebrow ? Is MB copying BMW designs now ? When did they become fashionable ?

that doesnt look like chopped pictures to me. this one is not my taste but the interior is pretty elegant like most of the MB. the back looks like a HONDA ACCORD to me and scion tC front.

If the C is like this, what about the S?
Nice find!

Not too bad IMO except for the eyebrows and door crease.

Unlike BMW's, the eyebrows here look really good IMO.
Overall, very nice except for the rear.

I don't like it one bit except for the interior.

The body doesn't flow and seems to stop and start again.

Absolutely...I agree with you 100% this time...especially the interior and the gauges. The twin circles sure beat that huge semicircle on the old one. The wood trim looks better, too.
And NO BMW I-Drive !
Just one minor complaint....they could have done the tailights a little better, but that is minor....they look too much like the last-generation Acura CL coupe.

Just be paitient....an AMG version will no doubt be in the works later. Then you can buy one and lay as much rubber as you want.

My opinion, interior is
Way too blocky and plain. Feels like it's missing something.

Exterior isn't that bad actually ....
