   Vivek, word of personal advice and please don’t take this the wrong way. I’m sure others have great stuff to write about your reviews but my only issue is that all your articles that I’ve read have the non-critical perspective. Having been used to Mashfique’s quality (don’t care two hoots about anyone) writing which always says it like it is, this is something that should be worked on for the benefit of Drive Arabia, as this honesty is what lures me to Drive arabia.

   Not everything is always good and the mercedes looks demented from the front because the angle and proportion of the front lights do not suit the over all disposition, similar to the new SLK whose lights are also disproportional and not fitting to a compact sports cars.

   To be honest, your articles remind me of the pieces written by our friends in ‘famous’ newspapers such as Gulf News or Gulf Daily News.. full of sensationalism as if its a marketing pitch for the particular party. It loses all objectivity. You don’t need to say ‘Stuttgart denizens’ and lush ‘avant-gardism’.. the merc sl looks like shit from the front compared to its recently updated predecessor.

   That said the interior is a huge improvement and kudos to them for that. Driving this one will be for old men as usual with all the techno nannies having owned and driven one for a while.. can never compare to its Bavarian or other stuttgart counterparts.

  Well, thanks for being honest. But honestly, I do not think you really have read all my reviews and articles. While it is true that I am still getting used to being “neutral” about cars, I do firmly believe that I haven’t been way too sugary or biased about any manufacturer. I do not think the usage of “lush avant-gardism” or “Stuttgart denizens” make so much of a difference that the whole objective of the article is being lost; of course, if you check out Merc and their recent models, what they have been trying to do is mix their old designs with some new lines! As for criticizing it, it isn’t time yet; I do not think slandering about the SL is fair until all information about the car is available. Calling it elegant and stylish was personal though, I admit; but I am fairly certain that I am with the majority here, which is why I chose to express it. I have always criticized all manufacturers who have come up with weird designs and crappy specs, you will know that if you truly have gone through all my articles. Anyhow, thank you for your comment 🙂

   Retro designs were outstanding but this one looks a bit messy.. The SLS did a great job interms of retro look but this one looks disproportional.. Its like they forced those headlamps and taillamps into the car..

   one word – ugly

  Agree, exterior design is gone horribly wrong..

   the front somehow looks weird and the back looks too big. i am not such a big fan of the new Mercs (CLS included!)

• 
  You are right … Something is wrong with the design of new Mercs. The CLS back is a catastrophe … and this SL is a non-exception, too.

   Somebody needs to talk to their design division..

    wait to see it on flesh and then give it a final verdict…
