I don't think it is a very good looking car, in fact Ferrari hasn't made many good looking cars in a while, they seem to have peaked in the 90s as far as styling goes.  Maybe that is why old Ferraris are worth so much, these new ones don't look so good.

I wanna know when was the last time Mercedes built a truly beautiful car?

And I want SMK to answer that question just so I could know what he deems beautiful.

I could compare his Mercedes choice of beauty with what Ferrari has created...and then I could come to a conclusion to see if SMK's opinion on this is genuine or simple fanboy fodder!

The 1930's SSK is truly a masterpiece.

But Ill go 20 years later with the Gullwing and its roadster sibling as the last beautiful Mercedes created. 

The retro Gullwing in the new Millennium is something I admire, but I also see it as a Dodge Viper wannabe negating it as a truly beautiful Mercedes for me.

I am waiting for you to tell me what was the last Mercedes Benz car to be beautiful to you.

I truly want to know so I could judge you and your tastes...

I want to compare your beauty M-B with the same era Ferrari and then compare your M-B beauty with the history of Ferrari beauties as a whole... 

Then we could discuss M-B's overall history of beautiful cars too if you would like...

Every SL looks good, the SLS AMG with the gullwing doors, McLaren SLR, S-class coupe and convertible of this generation, 2004 CLS, G-wagon looks good too.

Not all.  Actually, most SLs in history have a very very generic styling. 

McLaren SLR?  Its not a beauty queen by any means. Its just as ugly as any Ferrari in this era...

You are very fanboyish to even think that these cars you presented are nicer than Ferrari in the same time frame. Even if its your opinion on them...

Ferrari went ugly, I agree.  But for you to diss Ferrari but be serious to tell me that you find these Mercedes cars better looking is telling me you are not genuine...

Ill give you the Gullwing AMG SLS.  In this time frame, the SLS blows ANYTHING that Ferrari created in the looks department. But had it NOT been for Chrysler for the cash and Dodge for the platform, the SLS would have NEVER been created...

Everything else is just as ugly, as Ferrari. In some cases, very generic. At least Ferrari cannot be accused of being generic... 

But thank-you for responding.
