hey all,

here just a few (bad quality-sorry abt that/taken with my cell phone) shots of the athens (greece) fashion week mercedes-benz stand, set up right at the main building entrance.

first time i saw the facelifted slk up close and personal, and i am really impressed.

Does the "split-chin" look acceptable in person?

etyu thanks yr last,

this is what i wrote yesterday in another thread before being able to post these pics:

qte

just saw the 2009 model up close and personal at the athens (greece) spring fashion week (where mb exhibits during this weekend), and although i had some second thoughts on the new front bumper before placing an order for a new car (details in seperate thread), i really really liked what i saw: the gap gives the front an agressive look, and highlights the nose and star, while not overposing.

i still have some objections on the rectangular exhaust finishes (i find round shapes to be sportier) and the new s/wheel (too thin and and too big for my taste).

i was also left with the impression that the interior is much improved qualitywise, although i stepped into the driver's seat for no more than a minute (too many visitors gathered around, could not take my time).

i guess we shall all get used to the new design elements real soon...

unqte

i was overall impressed, and i really think no official photos i 've seen so far do the car justice.

not yet seen any cars in dark colors, and i would very much like to check out the contrast of that front gap (i ordered mine in obsidian black).

After seeing video of the split chin for the 55 and base, i've gotten used to it. I actually really like the new bumper for the 55 and will be trying to get my hands on one of them!

...i had a chance to test drive the clc 230 2.5 v6 engine. it was no extravaganza, but i was left with very good impressions overall, and i do like the looks. it is a very compact and sporty liftback, and i might have given it a chance, if i wasn't so much fixed on the slk. my wife liked it too, but she also said the bmw coupe looks sportier, although the interior is a tad boring, and i think i agree with that.

Blade III

Hmmm...looks like a creature taken from Blade 3.

I was going to post a YouTube video, but the language was likely outside the forum rules, but if you go here and click on the "YouTube-Ryan Reynolds-Blade 3" link, you can see it...it's pretty funny.

I'm convinced a new ad campaign for mb is to have an MB super Hero!! And so there now subconsciously getting us used to this guy in advanced by placing him in the cars make-up...



Anyone else see this in the front? i'm sorry if you didn't but now will ever time you look at it. ;)
