I like it. Looks more aggressive up front and liking the rims.

Front looks ok, a bit weird, but definitely doesn't match the rear so I don't like it too much.
M6 > SL65

Wow rubberband tires

and also I hate the little oval headlights, it seems they didn't know if they should go oval or go rectangular so they made a rectangle with a tumor like oval growing on top of it.

I think the headlights would look much nicer if they lost that circular bulge on top.

Other than that, car looks great

Photoshop. Mercedes wouldn't offer 22" wheels and slam the hell out of the car...not to mention the side mirrors are a dead giveaway

I don't like the new headlights. The pre-facelift is much hotter.

front healights still look like shit. The headlights of the c-class are more aggressive.

Haha, is this just a "facelift?" Looks more like a "fuck up" by MB. The previous front end was much sexier!
