There are a bunch of these in the parking garage at my office, and a ny time I see one I keep thinking the greenhouse sits too far back. I realize the E-class has a similar profile but it at least has the longer wheelbase to pull it off and doesn’t look so out of proportion.

sometimes the E and S class look strikingly similar... the C class’s constrained proportions make it easy to distinguis h

It’s not quite long enough to pull off the S-class droopy butt look

I like it! All it needs is a hood ornament

There is nothing with a long hood. If you disagree, look under the h ood of a 4th gen F-body or one of those American full-size vans. The engine belongs under the HOOD, not under the windshield

Or... and hear me out... just slide the back wheels back about 2 inches.  Problem solved.

It also doesn't help that the entire side of the car is bisected by a character line that starts right at the headlight and then arbitrarily ceases before it crosses the rear door. Makes the whole rear slab look hugely out of place.

The ass end is too stubby though to balance the long hood. If the trunk was a little longer it’d work.

That would just make the rear end look even stubbier.
