Saw a red one navigating around Indy beltway last week.... what a beautiful vehicle.
928, a little bit of Ferrari in the front area and a tad of Etype to my eye at least. Wow.

I see them all the time where I am. They really do share a lot of cues with the 928 but they are less practical as the cabin is a fair bit smaller.
I did get a bit of sticker shock when I found out they are over $140K.

They start at $110k which IMO is a bargain for such a car. If you check all the option boxes they will top out at $160k+, which is still a steal compared to other long nose front engine GT's from the likes of Aston Martin and Ferrari.
Not sure why the flagship Mercedes would be expected to be priced below a Boxster (Which tops out at over $140k if you check all the options....)
A fully decked out Porsche Macan, a baby SUV with a shared Audi platform, can go over $140k.

I'm in a small college town and have only seen one of these in traffic around town......but I have to conclude they "borrowed" some lines from the 928- especially the rear profile!!

Indeed, It looks like an "Evolved" 928...

Where I work McLarens are more pedestrian and 911 are more common than Corollas.
I see them on occasion and they always look fantastic. Really wish I could have a go in one.

I think the 928 is the better looking car, but agree the AMG is the true 928 successor. I don’t like the little duck tail-style extension to the AMG hatch. Also, I don’t quite get the weird rear tail light shape.

I think the 928 is better looking too,,,
Considering the 928 left off in 95' I can't look at this car and see it as an innovative body design. Would I like to have one? Of course!
By the way, some years ago I had an older gent look at my 928 and tell me it looked to him like my car got its lines from the old Jaguar E-type and. I suppose I can see that too...
