The gull wing is good looking car in many ways but one of the things that stands out for me is the curved windscreen. The tendency for modern cars to integrate very thick raked pillars has led to near flat windscreens and, in my view, serious obstructions to forward /oblique vision. This Merc together with old favourites such as the E-Type, DB5 and Ferrari 250 California etc have beautifully curved windscreens and near vertical pillars that don't obstruct forward vision. Not in the same league, I know, but my old SAAB 900s had the same feature which I really liked, practically and aesthetically. I am not suggested that the Aeros would look better with curved windscreens but the thick frame and flat glass doesn't help the overall appearance in my view so I think windscreens are an important design feature.
