The flow/lines from the taillights to the rear bumper definitely borrows from the current MB C class.

I despise it. Especially the estate variant. I agree, E46 ftw.

I personally do not think it looks that bad, but I do agree I do not like both tail pipes on the same side.

Could be better, but the real issue IMO is the interior. That needs to be redesigned badly
