German Car Zone

I doubt the car was delivered like that the fuel cap might have been damaged by the film crew , because accidents do happen , in 2001 on the shoot of the BMW E65 the driver was playing with iDrive and drove the car into a ditch sratching the front wing , so we had to shoot some segments with the same angle. And more recently on the 1er Cabrio in 2007 a curious Glasgow taxi drove into the rear quarter.

Because these shoots are on a specific timeline , especially in the run up to the IAA there is no time to get another car out to location so you have to make do with what you have and try and work around it.

Although you can get back to the studio and manipulate digitally it but on location you cannot do anything.

Not a bad looking Wagon. But that shot of the rear light closeup shows how un-clean, blocky, and non-flowing the lines and shapes are, W.T.F is wrong with M-B's designers? I'd hope that they CAN make an aggressive and sharp lined car while still retaining coherent and concise shapes and lines if they wanted to can't they?

AND they fuel filler door looks to be fitted very poorly, it's misaligned and sticking out at the bottom.... And it does not seem to be partially opened either.

I don't know anymore with M-B, it used to be a love-love thing, now it's a love/hate thing.

Such a neat setup.

Two pictures from yesterday's shopping with my brother.





This is an E250 CDi with lots of AMG styling, inside and out. Looks great and I think I would take the T model over the sedan. This is really a true Mercedes wagon, in every way! Just like the good old W124. Sharp, edgy and very stylish.
