I'm not as happy with MB's latest style developments, the CL being the one noteworthy exception. I find the latest SLK and even more so the latest SL to be a bit too much about short-term flashy effect than about a classy styling that will hold its own for decades to come. I'm suspect this is because they're trying to cater to a younger crowd, but they have to be careful not to jeopardize their brand image along the way.
