Exactly. How many un-serviced "sealed for life" auto/dsg boxes have lunched themselves at that mileage?

What is going on with those lights? What happened to Merc's design being understated?
Looks like something drawn by a child.

Re: EV Thread
WTF is that? 
And the power figures on these cars has become tedious. I see 1000+bhp and it while it should be impressive, I just don't really care. Perhaps it's the lack of theatre/drama and the fact they're invariably a bland/weird looking EV.

Naaaaaasty, what were they thinking?!
Re: EV Thread
It just looks like one of those endless Chinese brands that copy the silhouette of high end European cars and then get the details very wrong.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: EV Thread
The middle of it just looks like a Taycan, while the rear lights have that awful graphic which looks like Mitsubishi's logo not Merc's and the front grille looks like it was intended for a Maserati and the headlight strip looks like it's from a Smart. Not impressed.
Re: EV Thread
I don’t think the colour does it any favours.
I’ll wait till I see on in Matt black before passing judgement

What an abomination.
Re: EV Thread
It was the new C-class where I couldn't help but see it - it almost looks like Merc bought a job lot of light clusters intended for a different makeSwervin_Mervin wrote: Wed May 20, 2026 11:24 am And I'd not linked the light detail to looking like the Mitsubishi logo - now I can't unsee that

Re: EV Thread
Once they make their SUV versions it will look like a fancy heat pump from the rear

Re: EV Thread
Why have they used the goblin shark as the inspiration for the front end styling?
What a massive heap of unmitigated shite. Fuck off Mercedes, you're drunk, and you're a lousy drunk.
