Re: Today’s want
993T is outside my parents place
Some interesting cars down in Poole, but cc uses pro photographers and they seem to pick a few locations to use repeatedly
There’s a 944 Safari coming to CC that looks fun!

I still reckon it’s due to huge amounts of Russian money needing to be laundered at the moment.

Saw that yesterday. Lovely looking thing. The monoblock wheels work so well. Bit harsh to descrobe it as brown thoughZedLeg wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:56 pm My new kink for brown cars continues

Re: Today’s want
Very nice. I'm 50-50 on the wheels though. I think they look great, but also that the car is too modern for them.ZedLeg wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:56 pm My new kink for brown cars continues

I had a Saloon and a Coupe of that type (Pre facelift W212) and never liked the lights.
Re: Today’s want
I hated most Mercedes styling from that period when they were new. Least favourite part of the E was the swept back wing stamped into the rear quarter.
I think they're looking better with age though.

Re: Today’s want
I didn't like the headlights either, nor the rear wing haunch that Zed mentions. Yet now, I think the pre-facelift W212 looks way better than the facelift which didn't improve the looks, it just made them bland.
Those alloys would be better on a W140 or C140 though.
Re: Today’s want
Visible here - there's a crease which runs through the door handles and stops just behind the rear door. There's a separate unrelated crease below that which runs to the rear end but forward it droops down as a big bulging curve down the rear door skin. Always looked awkward.
So on the facelift they got rid of it. Except they only changed the rear door skin so now you have two straight fore-aft creases which are unrelated to each other:

Yeah, the curve is ugly.
