Actually it looks awesome in the posted picture and less stodgy than previous pictures I have seen. I have yet to see one in person though. I reserve my final judgement till then!

Boring design...SLR was a lot better style than this ugly design.

It's not boring it's just not 'out there' like a Lamborghini. There's nothing wrong with that. Not all super cars have to be styled that way. This SLS I think is a special car. It's a reincarnation of the 300SL Gullwing (one of my favorite cars of all time). It's trying to rekindle classic styling. You can't hate them for trying and you can't hate the figures.
