MB's version looks better than 1-series hatch...

Seems like MB copied Mazda's kodo design, which is seen on the new Mazda CX-5. Rear looks nice too compared to the 1-series hatch.

Haha, on first sight I thought the link was wrong - looked like a Mazda.

The 1-series hatch looks better IMO.

I think the M3 looks better than a C63, but in general I think mercedes takes it in styling.

Need to see one in person, pictures could go either way for me.

Certain angles I like and others it looks like a shrunk down R class

Are we trying to compare which is the prettiest of the ugliest designs? they're all ugly. A-class, new smiling fool facia of Mazda 3, 1-series hatch - all ugly.

Meh! How pedestrian looking.

Very simple but I really like it. It actually has some kind of an interesting side design, unlike the C class and even the C63 which is so unbelievably plain on the sides.
