Looks like a pretty conservative design. Z4 looks better though.

Like the refresh for the SL, the refresh for the SLK looks awkward. The original design was round and curvy, so the squared off front ends don't fit the overall look.

x2 Completely agree. I wish they have gone retro and done something curvy with round lights similar to the original with an updated look. The only thing that ties the SLS to the original is the gull wing doors.

Doesn't look right. Front is too squared, and rear is too round. Mini SLS + C Class rear is FAIL.

I'd take Z4 anyday. Love that thing.

I like the proportions of the SLK more than the SC. Long hood and short trunk = classic sports car. Now if only it performs as well as it looks.
