Nearly everything is shrinking these days -- electronics, the economy, the globe (thanks, Facebook) -- but with few exceptions, luxury automakers have been reluctant to join the "less is more" crowd.

Its "exclusive" brown paint job isn't a huge selling point, but the leathery interior (seats, steering wheel, instrument panel) gives a posh feel, as does the panoramic roof. So far it's exclusive to Europe, but given Daimler's growing interest in the U.S., you might see one of these brown bombshells cruising the interstate before long. [MotorAuthority]
