Once again this car needs a wider rear tire if they are going to flare out the fenders ala the S class

Yep the fenders maximize the wheel gap. Its bad on the CLS and even worse on the 2011.

Car has some positives, I just wish the smoothed it out, I like the rear and the front

is this 2011 or 2012? I'm asking because my dealer has 2011 CLS with ridiculously low finance rate 0.9%. It doesn't sound right if 2011 is the new model year:S

I can probably get used to the rear and maybe the S Class rear fender treatment but the huge, flat, Dodge truc look up front is really bothering me.

The 2011 reminds me of a beautiful woman who got a bad face lift. We need to check her out under the hood. Maybe the new bi turbo will forgive the scars.

Agreed. Maybe, just maybe the looks will grow on me. Still totally undecided. Just can't get over truck, vertical front end.

Twin turbo may heal visual wounds on a car but not a woman! This car still looks like a trainwreck.

what's up with this area here? Not feeling it.

Is this a total redesign or a facelift? The complete roof structure and glass look like carry-overs.
