Just saw my first Mercedes EQS 580 on the road (pics)

[RDMcG]

This is a seriously big car, However I saw it being parked and the four wheel steering is mix more pronounced and visible compared to any other 4WS setup I have seen:

Thats quite the colour scheme. Not sure I'd want that car, each to their own.

Looks a beast. Although the colour scheme on that particular example is “challenging”. Particularly that area at the base of the A-pillar/front wing. That’s a real mess design wise.

Saw my first Lucid Air the other day. Looked decent, although rather underwhelming. It’s a fair bit smaller than I had envisioned. Thought it would be full-size. Much smaller than my A8, for example. Although it looked to have a similar amount of space inside due to superior packaging.

Yes it looks big, but it doesn't feel big to drive or park. The RWS is amazing.

So big he parked across someone drive way? But seriously in part it looks super long due to the colour scheme . I love to see some of the other colour options.

That really is quite vile

The driveways are at the rear

I think they look better in a single color - not good to my eyes, but better. I don’t get what they did with the panel above the front wing - there must be a better option for 2 colors than just painting the entire panel thereby tuning the front to rear line

They are a bit of a beast, but quite elegant I think. Not really a fan of the two tone.

I couldn't quite work out if it proves or disproves the old "You can't polish a turd" saying, it is quite shiny but...

Well, Mercedes have form for producing 'challenging' cars - take the last Maybachs for example.

It looks like a built up shoe with a hearing aid beige upper.

We have a couple in the neighbourhood like the one I photographed below. Not that impressed but better than the EQS. Personally if I wanted an EV at that level I would get the Taycan Cross Turismo.

I actually think they're really good looking cars, but the two tone paint job just doesn't work the way the bonnet forms the top part of the front wheel arches! It just serves to highlight the layout of the panels - which makes having a single line impossible.

If I had the money i'd get one but I'd need an extra grand to take it to a spray shop and get that area of paint fixed..

Indeed - one for the "annoying details" thread or whatever it was called!

[CoolHands]

I mean, the shape of the car is just a big blob. Which would be ok if that’s your thing, but the colour scheme on that one is revolting.

[georgeyboy12345]

Not that I’d ever buy such a thing, but the review on here a few months ago put me right off, especially with regards to the infotainment, etc

[Greenmantle]

shape is a big thing for me. The current choice is either SUV or jelly mould. I'm still waiting for something special.

If you like the front of your cars to look like a decade old Civic with the grille smoothed over then yes, this is the car for you.
