I'm with Hassan on this. While I quite like the front and side profile (nice styling details), I'm very underwhelmed by the Mazda-esque rear.

Yeah, it's the rear end that kills it for me, simply too much Mazda for me. I'm not feeling the blades in the underwhelming front bumper either. The Ocean Drive was a much better executed concept both inside and out.

re: Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION

I think the rear is just an evolution of older models not necessarily Mazda like.

With you on the blades as well...terrible! Audi and VW have done this much better.

re: Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION

I like it, though in the first head on pic, I thought it was the R class face lift. But the profile is sexy. I also like the back, hopefully the E wagon will inherit it instead of the boxy C class wagon rear end or may be we will see a MB PAS. The car also doesn't look anywhere as boxy as the leaked E class pics.

CLK Shhoting Brake with new E-class front.

Looks very good from all angles!

re: Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION

The car looks pretty good, love the front and the side, the rear end styling is a ok, it reminds me of the back end of the Astra. I reckon this concept will work as a R-class replacement as well, just add another 2 doors and it will be pretty sweet.
