I don't think its the final, maybe a couple of adjustments here and there.

But it looks STUNNING, far more better than the previous model :D

[amanthapar]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ looks too japenese...

in fact most german cars are looking tooo japanese.. eeeee

[SPEEDKILLAR]

^^^^^^^^I don't see anything japanese about it :?


BTW, whats wrong with japanese?

[he7lius]

Doesn't it look a bit like the Lexus RX??
Just an impression.

[v0od0o]

looks gr8 to me, definite improvement over the outgoing M, they should sort the quality problems they had with the older model though

[bmagni]

looks good, but i still stick with the X5

[blah]

looks like a Buick Rainer. Eghhhhh

[schnell318]

I was thinking it looks too much like the current one too, which isn´t good at all :?

[blah]

Are we sure Diamler didnt merge with GM? :wink:

[PATo355]

Mmmm ... the front looks the same ( exept the headlamps ) so does the back , it has some minor changes , i think its more of a test mule

By looking at these photos, all i can see is a KIA Sorento with a mercedes badge on it.
The kia is sold in north america, not sure about anywhere else.

I think mercedes could have came up with better :(

Yeah this is my first impression too. Whatever I don't like SUV.

[gottacatchup]

i think it looks like that cadillac suv, with all the creases and sharp angles.

BTW, whats wrong with japanese?

Yeah likewise. I think it looks like Japanese too.

Nothing wrong with it, but it just doesn't seem like MB to me. I think I associate it more with the brand image then country origin.

[blah]

I was thinking SRX too, but it doesnt have the front of the SRX

[ahmedgiyab]

Looks much better than the previous mode!

I like the new "sharp edge" design for MB.... :wink:

[1zippo1]

When I saw I thought RX300... I won't say it's bad looking, but not that good either IMO

[ahmedgiyab]

The Lexus RX330 is a great looking car.....so I love it as well.... :D

[gdc]

And kia sorento looks similiar to Lexus~ :x

What's wong with the Merc designer?

[JiggaStyles09]

its decent, i was expecting a more out of the redesign, but not bad.

I agree...KIA Sorento was my first impression, then possibly an RX330... I like the Merc sedans' designs, why can't get bring up a better design for the M? Instead of making 'modifications' I might have preferred just a 'new' look...
But on the other hand, BMWs and Porsches' general designs from the sedans do not look too bad on their SUVs, but I can't imagine how Merc sedans' designs would fit into their SUVs other than looking like the M...
They should hire Chris Bangle... :lol: He'll figure out something...an 'innovative' design for the M...-_-;;

[fabro_s]

It sure looks japanes, look at the KIA, its too squared, but the interior is really good :wink:

[philios55]

I'm not sure if this is the final M class,but if it is then i don't like the look of it,what i do like a lot is the interior of this new car!!!

[rachaderua]

humm the new design just stayed as good as a glove to a hand...very beauty and strong :D

[Evo]

Looks better than the previous ML but still got the lines of the old one.. I like the interior.. looks good..

[TopGearNL]

Doesn't it look a bit like the Lexus RX??

It looks Asian anyway, look at the shape of its body and the curves, it looks like the Lexus like you say but also a bit like the Kia Sorento or the Ssangyong Rexton (partly owned by Mercedes)
