Scirocco Central

... add in a little bit of Astra 3 door, stir in some Mercedes fussyiness (whoops dropped the whole bottle into the mix) - spray silver and you end up with this mess:- http://www.germancarforum.com/mercedes- ... nghai.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hmm, only one thing I like about it is a proper tail gate.

Does look good though

If it came out like that I would be interested in having a go in it...

But we all know it is a concept

I actually like that.

I suppose I like bits of it. If that's any help

Saw the pic of this car in last Fridays car supplement in "the Sun". Straight away it looked like a Scirocco with a bling Merc front end (that would be toned down for production), extra side creases and ridiculously skinny wing mirrors. Every concept car you see has a space age interior that is never going to make it into production, even in a toned down form (so why do they bother?).

At least if it's designed like a Scirocco and not a wedge of cheese, it might not roll over on the "moose swerve" test in Scandinavia.

I quite like the profile from the side (duuh ) but the front is not my cup of tea.

I do like the rims ALOT though!! Wow! And the tail lights are not bad!! (except the third brake light... uurggh..)

I don't really like the back, it just looks too high and bit too thin at the top? And I think this is a little bit similar to the bmw 1 series, or is it just me?

I actually quite like the look of that! Although you know it will never look the same once it goes into production. Still prefer the Roc though.

Doesnt look too bad to be honest, although it looks like a complete rip-off of the Scirocco..........

I like

looks superb, was in last weeks autocar which reported AMG model to have 4wd and 320bhp

The Scirocco is an excellent packaging solution for a coupe, so I guess it was only a matter of time...

It's funny though that these days VW design is calm, confident and relatively understated whereas Merc (even given that this is a concept) is all blingy and hysterical. When I compare my neighbours new C-class next to my 'Roc, the Merc is just a mess of fussy detailing.

(The current Megane coupe is similar in overall packaging but looks rather different due to the visual tricks around the C pillar. The Scirocco is a more visually 'honest' shape in that request.)
