    I should add, the more subtle fender flares are what should be on the S class.

    Glad u saw it too. What buick is that? You really can 'see' it in the rear picture. I don't know Buick models enough to say which it is that it is reminding me of.

    Those pics aren't real. When is the last time you saw a decent "spy pic" that actually looked anything like the real thing?

    Terrible. Elicits no emotional response in me at all.

    Last time I was in a Mercedes dealership they had some entry level model with cloth seats in the most horrible pattern. Looked like some sort of carpeting from a Carnival cruise ship.

    Today I drove past the dealership again and outside they had some hideous looking minivan. B-Class? R-Class? Dunno.

    I guess they know what they are doing, but for me, my interest now stops at the SL55 and the E55.

    Looks like a Honda. Mercedes has lost it in the styling department and from what I've heard the quality control department as well.

    Yuck! The last cl was one of the most handsome cars around. Thats OK with me. As soon as this new model is out, the present model will drop in price. Too many people with bad taste. I've already checked it out, Renn-Teck has an electronics kit for the CL600. For 6k you get 625hp and 740lb/tq. Going to be a bargine in six months.

    The current CL is one of, if not the most beautiful MB coupes ever. A friend of mine has a white one and it's the most beautiful car for less the $90K I've seen, just a beautiful, clean line.

    But this new clunker....what are they thinking and seeing?

    Maybe with the full AMG package it might come alive.

    The current model will definitely hold its value.



    Forza,

    Looks like the CLS kinda? The CL was always the uber-classy Benz, they softened it way up.

    I like some MB's but I dont like the new styling direction they have gone in. I really hoped their top-of-the-line coupe was going to be classy and handsome like the old one but they've gone and globbified it. Blech. At least the BMW's look unique and true to their themed style. The Benz's are turning into lowest-common-denominator-mobiles.
