It's pretty good actually. Bit weird sitting in a Merc saloon without a transmission tunnel though. :ban:

Had the high maintenance Matt paint on it, I can't see myself ever owning a car with this paint job.

Oh, don't like the bonnet design though. Same with a lot of cars going this way, gaps just don't look right from some angles.
 
Its a bit dumpy looking. Looks like a big car but squashed up. Remember those things shude did on photoshop....

Sadly this isn't photoshop. The hatch looks better
 
It is an odd looking car... as I said in the other thread it works better in dark colours with silver wheels... in silver / light metallics it just looks wrong... Which is not good as a merc should always work in silver.
 
The AMG version, or a super frugal diesel version might be just the ticket for me.

I agree, matte paint is not for me, although it does look striking.
 
it's like a car designed by a kindergarten bunch of kids ..

the proportioning is all wrong

like a dwarf wearing high heels
 
Door shut lines look weird with that wide B pillar
 
So it actually is just as ugly as my first impressions of it were...

front joint lines remind me of:

Anyway.. each to their own.. but so far.. not a big fan
 
Looks nice! I am very keen to see the CLA45 AMG.

I appreciate it is probably the angle - but the shut lines and panel gap with the bumper look terrible.
 
It is growing on me. Still not 100%, but I am starting to really like it.
As KillerHertz says, it will sell well.
 
I think I like this. Would certainly be on my list if I needed a small saloon.
 
Looks great!
