I bet they will do a gullwing version. The design cries for it.

You're all kidding, right?

I think it looks great

I like individual parts of it, but I don't like the whole thing. The back end does not match the front too well. I don't like the boxy nose with its big grill, separate air scoops below the tall headlights. It does not flow well. This contrasts with the smooth, sleek, rear end. The rear looks more aero than the front. This retro design matches the the old 300 SL, but it's a little too retro styled for my taste.
In terms of contemporary sports car styling, I would not at all consider this Mercedes to be in the same league with the Ferrari 458 Italia, or McLaren MP4-C12.
I don't love it nor do I hate it.

SWEET LOOKING CAR!!!

design looks unrefined and dare i say cheap.
The slk black is much better looking.
What i do know is that this will be the best handling mercedes.

That front end is outstanding.

Anyone want to give us some info on the mechanicals?

I'm sure it has a huge displacement V-8 from AMG

when i see the car im looking for a word, what is it called?


Ow yes i know it again, the word is ugly.


Why are all the new cars so ugly? I like most Mercedesses but this one is just ugly, looks like a bmw lol

Pity those headlights, ruins a great front if you ask me.

I much prefer my old SLK face lift in blue.

needs round head lights and a less ugly back end

The more I look at those headlights, the more I wonder what those guys were thinking?

But then again, these were perhaps the same people designing the new S-klasse fenders?

I remember Gorden Murray setting up the level tables at Woking for the first SLR.
I do not see this thing as anywhere near that car.
Probably a cost cutting exercise by Merc if truth were known and I dont even like Ron Dennis.

Something about rubs me the wrong way. They could have done better I think

If you think the original SLS is not pretty, you will change your mind after you look at this!

I'm sure it's a beast of a car, but to me it's just hot looking.

When I look at a new Lambo for instance or the Aston Martin or even the Maserati coupe, I see a sexy car that looks hot even sitting still. I just don't get that same feeling when I look at this one.
