achien · 07-20-2007, 09:11 PM

Something doesn't look right, looks like the nose (front) had been flattened...

Greeney · 07-20-2007, 09:18 PM

See the one with the sport is hot!

NAandTT · 07-20-2007, 09:23 PM

Damn. Its better than the 3 series, hate to admit..

BMWJZ4 · 07-20-2007, 10:32 PM

Don't like the eyebrows.

I saw one in person and thought it was too bulky/had too many aggressive lines. It was almost as if too many parts of the car were vying for your attention. I prefer smoother lines and more subtle styling. I'm probably nitpicking because I'm sure it's a tremendous car, but I'm just not wild about its "presence."

Bingo.

Supposedly Mercedes did this to comply with new pedestrian saftey regulations in Europe. But what I don't understand is why BMW didn't do it... or if they did, they did a much better job of hiding it.

hm, everytime i see pics of C class... sometimes i like it, sometimes i don't...
i like the C63 design, but the amg option doesn't seem to be that appealing to me... maybe i haven't got used to it.

jbake · 07-22-2007, 09:59 PM
