Tpday was a good day for spotting around town. Here is what I saw today:

Saw also M8 Competition but for some reason can'tupload photo on imgur.If yont you can see them on my IG @marcinek_55 i will upload more of those cars above and set of photos od M8 too.

The grill on that BMW is an absolute shocker, looks more ridiculous with the positioning of the reg plate. They could at least try offset it like Alfa did.

It's all subjective but I think it looks terrible both the car and the colour, whether on that particular car or otherwise. Screams look at me, I really want to be noticed also. Design of the car looks toyish in my eyes while the headlights seem to look somewhat bland.

It thinks it’s a Pontiac!
Horrible

Have it fixed:

The placement of the ///M8 badge looks wrong

I see this Levante most mornings, for a diesel it sounds great

I've seen that, or one very similar around my neck of the woods several times in the last few weeks. I doubt there are too many if them about.

Same street, 100m away from each other. Owner unlocked the 750 as I was taking the photo, he was quite pleasant and offered to stand back so I could get another shot if I wanted

a tale of two Mercs -
this has me perplexed (the S-class) - while I 'get' young lads doing a bit of 'badge engineering' on say a Civic to make it look like a Type R or that kinda thing, and whatever your thoughts on German plates, the C63 is legit.
(Putting side grilles, quad exhausts etc on a 320/520D for the M3/M5 rep is pushing it imho)

However, I passed a local car park and saw what I originally thought at first glance was a Maybach (there is/was one that lived local-ish in north Wicklow but I think the owner has moved it on) so I doubled back to have a closer look. It ain't, despite the Maybach bonnet badge replacing the MB star, and other badges.
It's a very fine luxobarge in its own right - an S500e - is this upping the game somewhat

Be that as it may OSI, real Maybachs have A different badge in place of the Mercedes logo:

A real Maybach has the rear quarter window built into the rear pillar, not the door. Think that one is a 500 hybrid with some Maybach badges and wheels.

Better than an S63 replica all the same!

Its bad enough that BMW have to ape Audi in their designs - they'd be rightly burned at the stake if they copied Alfa.

A trim level these days. Sad.

you're spot on there, not a maybach and is a 500 hybrid

He has the maybach front grille too, I'd imagine it cost him a small fortune to get it that way but honestly cannot fathom why anyone would do it

Maybach is to Mercedes as Vignale is to Ford - a spec level.

But MetzgerMeister I think your wrong on the MB badge.

Here's a photo lifted from Mercedes Benz website

I stand corrected!

What is with the massive grille chic Germans are going for lately?

It's the Chinese market you have to thank for that!

The Chinese love their big chrome grilles on their long wheel base cars.

Saw my all time favourite sedan an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (i must own this car one day) and BMW M6:

If that Alfa could be a woman she would have one hell of body...

wotzgoingon

Why does the alfa have a blank spot in it's front grill. Considering how much it costs it seems strange unless there is a purpose of it which I am inclined to think so but for the life of me I have no clue why.

Probably adaptive cruise?

I used to see that Alfa most mornings, the previous owner is now in a white 2020 BMW 7 Series 745e M Sport

Here's my post from 25th Sep 2019 posted on "Here's what I saw today, mark 3 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)", the sound of the Alfa is beautiful too .
