Looks are of course subjective, I'm confident many more people subjectively think this car looks like a highly polished turd than don't.

Taycan and Panamera.

i can't help how you interpret how i 'act'. i like the eqs, you and 'many' others don't. you and motorola think it should have been more like an s-class, i.e., more traditional! i don't. you're entitled to your opinion, as am i. doesn't make either of us right or wrong. if you don't like my opinion, i'm sorry about that.
Can't agree there. You did not just state your opinion, you drew and voiced conclusions about the person who had the opinion because of their opinion. Here are the examples of that:

then maybe someone else will come out with the 2035 lincoln town car.
Insinuating that what we want is some throwback to a vehicle that has been much derided here

you're beginning to sound a lot like someone else on here.
This is self explanatory

You're making inferences about me and others based on the fact that we don't like this car's design and have continually challenged our opinions of the design vs just saying "hey, thats your opinion" and moving on. The only reason I continue to discuss my opinion of this car is that you keep telling me its wrong. Not sure why but for some reason you seem very defensive of this car specifically.

completely subjective but many of your comments imply it should look like something that already exists which is fine, it's just opinions.
But it does look like something that already exists, a 20 year old Honda Civic lol

I have to say that I also find it odd that Paul feels very personal about this cars design and his dislike of anyone else's opinion to the contrary.

Its the same as your friend saying that the girl you like is ugly. You'd get mad too

The jabs at the EQS have been absolutely nothing compared to what was inflicted on the first-gen Panamera. The worst is yet to come.

Respectfully, no idea what you're talking about.

guys, let me be clear. I don't give a s--- whether this car succeeds or fails. yes i happen to like its design, and it's just my opinion, not right or wrong. what i object to is on here is the declarations by others that the car is ugly period, not "i think it's ugly", like many here are official judges of what's acceptable/good and what is unacceptable/bad and anyone who disagrees is obviously 'wrong'.

i do not think people who hate this car are 'wrong', because it's a subjective opinion. i do think that comments like it looks like a 20 year old honda civic are ludicrous though, but i certainly don't take it personally.

Respectfully, and I truly mean that, but that’s how your posts in this thread are coming across.

Thats honestly the first thing I think of when I see it. I don’t see how that statement is any different than saying a Lucid Air looks like a Taurus, which I don’t see at all.

For some weird reason all of Bit's posts have disappeared on me in this thread even though I see his posts just fine in other threads. Anyone else having the same issue?

Maybe he used his moderator powers and did a Thanos snap to remove himself out of this threads existence...

I agree the ambient lighting is too much. I'm sure it can be turned down maybe it was set at max for the picture.

Mercedes engineer: how much ambient lighting do you want?
Boss: have you seen Tron?
Mercedes engineer: say no more

Not sure. I'd have to see it in person and operate it.
