Wow, that's a handsome design. All the high-end Mercedes these days look like Batman should be driving them. This one has that sense of restraint they've been missing. All I'd like to see is a little more chrome.

I agree with Doug.  More chrome and a coupe version!

It probably isn't too far from what it will look like, but they're speculating.

Did you see the spy photos from the first link?

I hope they don't keep the spoiler.... looks even more like a porsche that way.

I honestly don"t think you will see a gullwing sucessor for the same reason the racing community was a little unhappy with the last one. In a rollover you can't get out.

Ever since the newscaster Jessica Savage died in a flipped car upside down in a bog I've thought I needed a floor board escape hatch. Luckily with the rust I have a good start.
