I really like the interior but think the exterior is a little boring.
Cheers

I think the front end looks like a Chinese copy of a Mercedes.

 

[Sprint-Man]

Is it me or do the wheel arches just look - Wrong?

They’ve made it look worse! IMO of course.

They look like our old 2013 VW Tiguan wheel arches

I wan’t keen on the W166 when it was released and for some time afterwards, and didn’t buy one in 2012 for that reason (and bought another W164 instead). But eventually I got used to it and bought a W166 a few years later anyway. It was a similar story when the W164 was released, but to a lesser degree.

I quite like this 2019 model, but (right now) not as much as I like the current and previous versions . Experience tells me that will change with time though. I still think the W164 is the best of the lot, unless counting those which have enhanced, in which case I think the Brabus W166 takes the crown as most handsome.

I’m looking forward to seeing the 63...

Well it’s already growing on me

It's not just you ...

They make the car look cheap IMO.

It looks like MB have taken the route of making them look deliberately pronounced.

So a styling decision.

We'll know if it's a good one or not in a few years if they are stll like that after any facelift.

 

[ZeeDee]

Looks too soft imo.

 

[TeddyRuxpin]

Sport/AMG Line version looks cool, the other version looks pants. As per usual, then...

Well that's the only ones available in the UK anyway.

I saw one in the showroom and outside too. Bloody hell they have some road presence. Rear i can't make my mind up on

 

[Alex]

I like it. Rear glass with colour coded D-pillars is very 163-like.

Really looking forward to the 63, they’re being testing on the road at the moment.
