![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I guess I am one of the few people who likes the original BlueZero (and this) design. If the next-generation B-Class looks like this I will be thrilled. I'm especially digging the rear lights that seem to be located behind clear see-through plastic. Love it. This design looks very aerodynamic, fluid and futuristic. I think this is exactly what the upcoming B-Class needs to attain some "style" and personality. The current design is versatile but extremely boring. And these alternative propulsion techniques sound interesting too.

Yes, and I remember Karlheinz Bauer (Daimler head of design management & operations for passenger vehicles) saying in the next few years car design will shift to more organic & round lines / shapes again. So, ODC, F700, BlueZero - all the latest MB concepts showing such a trend. So, after this generation of boxy & angular cars I guess the next one will be more trendy (curvy & organic). What was the point of going angular anyway? ![]() | |
