Neither one is any too appealing

Perhaps a bit overdone....

Hey!!

I just figured out where I've seen that CLS before!!!

Remember the old (not the new) Battlestar Galactica series .. the cylon raiders .. that's a cylon!

OMG that thing is ugly .. no wonder that sales guy is standing there all by his lonesome.

You hit it on the head! The mouth part of the cylon looks exactly like the grill part of the car. They probably copied it from Battlestar Galactica ... oh the memories.

WTF? That just took a sensuous and sleek looking car and made it into a piece of crap. They need to seriously fire their design team.

Wow, it's the new Mercedes CLS, brought to you by Audi.

by any chance, does the ASMA name stand for "Audi Smokes Mercedes' ***" or something? By the look of what they did to the Audi - I mean CLS - in the picture, their designers have sure got some wood for those new A6's, etc.

I agree the S doesn't look that bad... but the CLS is just UGLY! Looks like a vacuum cleaner/audi from i-Robot. Garbage.

my guess its that its an attempt to copy the maybach excelero gone horribly wrong.


It looks like a freaking industrial air vent, or a fancy urinal that you'd see in a 5 star restaurant or something...

At first glance i thought it was pretty nice, and then i looked at it again, and now i just dont know anymore... hmm i'd like to see this car in person. The S-class on the other hand looks killer!

I guess the design team didn't get the e-mail about how perpindicular grill design (Exelero grill) makes a car look more sensuous. The excessive horizontal grill design of ASSMA CLS makes the car look like a ugly piece of crap.

Never been a fan of the old "tires too narrow for the wheels" look that is obviously done on purpose here. Imagine what those wheel lips would look like with a woman driving them around for a few weeks... For some reason the S-Class reminds me of a new Nissan Maxima.
