Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

[Pagani]

If there are two separate vehicles Girden is teasing, I am all in. A SLS-style beautifully hipped coupe and a grandiose 600-style sedan. If these are the same concept, I am confused.

The 600 style concept appears too short, so it may be a single vehicle.

That grille seems to be a real old school MB grille and I am all for it.

"Old School" it most certainly is. A too excessively more than I personally care for. But sure, alot of car fans like that sort of theme. In any case, the presentation of these cars will be very interesting.

Old school grille with star on the hood is exactly what we need for like every Benz except the real sporty cars like the AMG GT and SL.
Basically how it used to be.

That iconic grille we introduced at IAA in Munich? Consider it the spark for a creative impulse. Get ready for what’s next.

If it's a coupe, I'm already sold.

I know it's gonna be EV. But if they find a way to squeeze the V12 (or V8) in it. It'll instantly become extremely desirable.

Is this accurate or rendering?

A coupe concept? S Coupe returning? A Maybach? Interesting.

Doesn't look like a Maybach, that would have the vertical pin-stripe grille. But who knows. I'm dying to see the concept. The shot of the interior looks like silk, or a similar fabric.

Anyone have a guess as to when we see this concept?

No idea, but given that we've gone from nothing to several teasers in a few days, I imagine it's quite soon.... Well I hope anyway

That grille is just too tall.

I guess everything is possible.

That grille is just too tall.

That whole front is too big for anything other than a S Class sized sedan. Yet, since I don’t believe they would release two concepts at once, it seems to me that is a humongous front on a two seater GT EV.

I just went to Gordon Wagener’s Instagram feed and his last six or so posts suggest this will be a Vision 6 inspired vehicle.

That grille is just too tall.

It seems like the tall narrow grill is now in fashion, BMW and Audi has adopted it for their latest production and concept cars, and now Mercedes is doing the same.

Really old school when one thinks about it. Pre-1970s old school. Back in the days of the W114, W108/109, W100, W113 and so on. Following that, we began to see the trend of M-B sedans being fitted with SL grills in the aftermarket. And that gradually evolved into what we have been seeing since. But whatever...

I can appreciate the legitimacy of the yearning for perceived M-B old school values that are reflected in design. A very subjective sort of thing, I suppose. Frankly, way back when, I never really considered M-B as a design icon per se. Only selected models scrutinized in isolation. That could be a reason why I'm not really into these old school design paradigms.

There is always something coming from the MB design team, however special these design concepts are over the past 15 years, the design elements are rarely translated to the production cars.
