1) Do BMW make any good looking cars?
2) Do Mercedes make any bad looking ones?

No
Yes, all of them.

All cars have become too 'corporate', due to sharing components to make them cheaper and easier to make IMO.

Sorry but the G29 looks like a new Merc SL to me. I struggle to tell them apart on the road. 'Pays your money, takes your choice'.

Silverstar, I've seen a few new 7's and in the flesh they are even more hideous, imposing, only the grill is and not in a good way
buzyg, 8 series, okay it's not fugly, but it aint no stunner either. G wagon, not argument there

So Sars, what’s your take on why they’re currently only offering the manual Zed in those Saturday night pavement spewed colours..? Seems too ridiculous to be true to me…, yet there it is, in reality….

I have registered my interest with BMW York for G29 manual as long as it is not in the hideous green. In Germany you could, from the launch, order one in any of the available colours, it's just here you can't. and I reckon it is some arrogant pen pusher at BMW UK who picked a "trendy" colour because he was the one that stated no one will but a manual G29 in the UK so picked a colour that no one in the right mind would pick. I would love one in frozen grey with the cognac interior.

Though if I'm being honest, I'm more likely to go with the new Mercedes CLE cabriolet, would love the 450 but do not think it is worth £10K more than the 300

I reckon it's just the side effects of his wife slowly poisoning him

I woulda been much more open to considering a manual G29 if they let you pick any other colour than old man green and brown.
