I don't like it, the front is okay but the back is horrendous, it doesn't have nice lines that the C Class estate.

Why do Mercedes keep bringing out such ugly new models. The A Class is ugly, so is the B Class and now they have this one

I quite like it.....but there's something very ford focus'ish about it.
