Actually I'll take it in black since it will look good & at least it looks much better than the ferrari 458 & mclaren mp4/12.

The design of this car is unique. A retro-modern look. This is an instant classic.

I used to have an appreciation for Mercedes-Benz, but this has taken that away. The exterior and interior look terrible. I want to see design progression NOT regression. Its not 1950.

Again, hats off to the engineers for making such an amazing car which, unfortunately, and I cannot stress enough, is such a disappointment visually.
Windscreen is not raked enough, the bumper needs a prominent kick (seems it has no chin) and despite some nice angles at the front, the front overhang looks like a huge overbite making it look heavy which is ironic.
But that engine/gearbox/spaceframe could win me over, that is saying something and I think the boys at AMG know that.

Wheels doesn't match the car at all, and the car has been retro'ed in a bad way.

something is not right?!? I think it is the wheels. It looks cheap

Yes, the back end isn't the best, the I think the front compensates.
Although, all I care about are some numbers for the Ring!!!

wheels and back ain't best but all rest is amazing (aluminium body, engine, retro style). Best gt car of our days!

The rear isn't that bad, clean and nothing too exciting. The front however, looks like someone drove an RX8 through the rear of a skyline up to its front. The original was/is much better.

This looks too much like a Dodge Viper with gullwing doors and a three-pointed star

Um, this car is stunning and built solely by AMG, they will sell every single one of these without any problem, unlike the SLR. Also, if you think the rear end is ugly, look at the McLaren 12c, black plastic or whatever it is, by far the best looking Mercedes since the previous Gullwing,
