Beijing calling

PART 2

The second big Star on the Beijing Show was the Mercedes Style Concept. An amazing Proportion and the typical high emotional surface entertainment made it a real "looker". The 3/4-quarter back view is working. The question will be how much is carried over into the production version. The Infiniti Emerg-e surprised me in reality with nicely down surfaces and proportion. Like.

Nice compilations with surface impressions. Like the green background nicely fitting into the layout:) The rear doors of the Mercer seem of no use. Did you have a chance to get inside? Let's wait for the production car. Very stylish indeed.
Have seen the Infiniti in Geneva. A sketch or two on wheels, snouty front end.

Next to the e-merge, the Merc feels a bit floppy to me, just not tight enough. I think their overachieving at MB, seems a bit desperate.......

According to Wagener the Merc is 95% production. Let's see where those 5% go. Although I still prefer understated, teutonic Benzes (anyone remember these?), I expect this one to become a Schlager.
Btw seen this: http://youtu.be/ciV1wkCSieo ?

The Emerg-E was nice indeed. Liked the mismatching, slit open panels and gaping shutlines too (see 'eyebrows' off the edge of the front- and taillamps).

I as well prefer the time of the MB 124 T-Modell...for my taste every surface has too much volume and there are (perhaps too) much themes for one car. But the proportion works really good.

I thought the Emerg-E would fit quite well to the R8...
