...The 350 interior was plasticky in a functional way, the new one looks to be plasticky in a more obnoxious way, especially the chunky, blobby nav screen bezel. The hooded instruments are class though...
MAYBE I can get used to the quarter lights, and I can definitely tell what they were trying to do, but the 300/350 style arched style just looks so classy and tight to me... They're useless though. In my 280 (the style being aped), you can at least see through them well...
Head/taillights look sloppy and gimmicky, remind me of other brand recognition contrivances, like the weird Subaru Edsel grille, or the Audi bigger Edsel grille.
I'd rather they kept the displacement down overall, but I guess they just wanted a new number that the marketing department could play with
I suppose it's close enough to the 350's style that I can't hate it too much.
