Looks awesome.

Not sure about that one.
Three issues:

1. Automatic. Then again I guess that's true of most of it's competition.
2. The power bulge hood looks awkward from the side. It reminds me of the Mustang Cobra hoods (didn't like them either).
3. That body work is really poor. The fit and finish is fine but it looks very fast and furious. Who is this car actually marketed at? Execs who might otherwise go to AMG or boi racers who have money?

On point 1: Yes, but Mercedes has made quite a reputation with automatic-only power cars, as you allude to
On point 2: Definitely agree here. It looks strange, and the rake up to the bulge part is weird.
On point 3: I would say that the new face is the worst part. The sides and rear (if we can see it) are generally fine, although in the 3-quarter view the body around the rear well does look like it's hanging wrong, or like the wheel is pushed in. But the center of the front fascia is ripped off of the now-deceased 2002-2003 Sentra SE-R with the caved-in center and squared-off intake. Also, the high corners behind each fog light are unusually sharply cut for a factory-styled product. The whee;s are hot though, but seem Infiniti inspired.

The interior of course is fine. No big canges there save the wheel and F badges. If this blue is the signature color of the car, it's pretty. It's not terribly original, but it's pretty.

maybe its the boy racer in me, but I like it. I wonder what the coupe they speak of will look like.

I'd prefer a coupe (as the rear seats and thus doors are useless).

Here's hoping a Toyota Supra will follow.

^ agree with you.

it looks a little odd in a sedan....something's just not right.

I like it, but the cost is what scares me.
