Hood is a bit too busy for me and the entire thing looks crunched. Stupid pedestrian safety laws...

If this rendering is accurate, it will definitely be the best looking SLK thus far ...

The front has lost its aggressiveness compared to the R171 chassis.

Looks pretty good, less stubby than current version.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to me the current SLK doesn't look remotely aggressive, even in AMG trim. It just looks...mild.
In fact, I have always thought that the overall shape of the car and many of it's details are quite reminiscent of the SC 430.

Lose the side vents and you have a winner.

I think it looks more masculine than the current design and definitely better than the BMW's Z

The design team at MB are doing a heck of a job. The new SLK,GLK,GL,E-class,C-class look awesome.

I like it but I think the MB badge on the front should be smaller and maybe make the grille a little less tall.
