The orange color on this car makes it look like some sort of Mercedes crash test car.

I'm ok with the rear and visible side profile for now but the front headlights just bother me. They look a bit geeky and Skodaish (found on the new Octavia) and just don't seem to suit the car. I much prefer the current C class headlight design.

If the production version looks like this excellent photoshop below, I can probably find it attractive. Right now I'm just not feeling it (based on these not-to-revealing spy shots).

the grill is the same as the pre face lifted C class, its just that the headlights narrow so it makes it seem like its bigger

From the spy pics, it looks like they went the IS convertible route by cutting off 2 doors and calling it a day. The photoshopped renderings are better.

let us no forget that the IS convertible only shares the same hood and door handles as the regular IS.

This is literally the same car without two doors. no change to the rear at all

Looks great.
From the front side angle it eerily resembles the current accord coupe.

Front looks great and overall it is a good looking car, but that rear 3/4 is literally identical to the Accord Coupe.

There are detail similarities but there's no way anyone is going to confuse one for the other. MB has one of the strongest visual identities out there and this is all Benz.
