The Mercedes shown is a bland, boring redo of what has come before, without any real elegance. Putting the “Star on the front of this effort is nothing but a parody, even an insult, when compared to the well styled, and almost universally admired, elegant efforts of Bruno Sacco, the now long retired master of MB styling. Now, lets start with a different, thinner proportioned A pillar,with variation in vertical angularity, followed by an improved/increased greenhouse for improved safety enhancing visibility deviating from the current compressed “machine-gun nest/pillbox greenhouses so apparently and universally in use now. Then combine the greenhouse alterations with changes and variations in the again, almost universal, now current front rear proportioning. Reconsider the wheels and tires with different aspect ratios, thus requiring different fender and wheel well shaping. With these considerations, then you might have the the “new way forward that PN hopes for as a new design direction. This might be a way from the “garish rolling appliance architecture so much in vogue now in some current design studios. Bill Mitchell and Bruno Sacco, when in their prime working their best, are solely missed now.

She decided to just stop here.

You only live once. Do it.
I walked. I fell. I flew.
