Love the old nose and hate the new one. Love the six speed, but the old ones in the 55 AMG only have auto. Seems I can't get the right combo to my liking.

Meh. Pre-production pictures in the other thread looked better.

Looks like they grafted a new nose on the old body. Not sure why someone would not spend a bit more and get a boxster instead.

The problem with those photos is that the 190SL's in the background look so much better...

Yeah, now it's too "nose heavy".

I'm not feeling this car. Not sure who buys a car like this either outside of aging women.

Probably looks crappy cuz it's a low end model.
