I really love the look. If they decide to go with it that is.

It has potential. Like the body lines, but dont care for the grill or headlights.

Hopefully they stick to their word and produce coupe like 4door sedans. An entire line like that would be insane IMO.

You could technically say that EVERYONE stole their headlights from Jaguar. Jaguar was one of the first automobile lines that popularized that headlight design back in the 70s-90s.

I did see the IS350 in it. When it comes down to it, you can see many similar ideas in all newer cars.

It looks also like it has CLS proportions...I do see the IS elements too. Will need to see more of the side profile, it looks good so far.

M-B should have been a little wary when someone ordered 10000 C-class headlights at a Coventry dealership.

Looks ok but it looks as if they took cues from just about every other car out there
