Question New MB body styles CLS, S, and what happened....

Two steps forward with the CLS, S Class and one step back with the new CL. What happened MB? I'm sure the CL65AMG will be a big improvement over the regular CL. Just saw the new 07 CL in person and I'm not really sure what to say except that I'm disapointed. IMO...

What do you think about the new CL....anyone considering buying one. Have you test driven it yet? Hopefully some good news on the driving side and interior.

Do you mind me asking what about the car you like. Have you driven it? How does it compare to the 06 back?

The one you saw probably wasn't a AMG, but if you saw this I think your opinion could be different.

Stunning

Now this is an absolutely stunning photograph of a beautiful car.

I love the wide wheel arches and the low profiled curves of this car. AMG touch on this car is amazing.

And we haven't talked about the engine yet.

IMHO...the car looks completely different with some aftermarket goodies...I am still gettin used to the stock ones, but after seeyin some of the tuner's own versions of the new CL...I am liking it more and more...

On a different note...I want those brakes off that CL!!!

You must be joking right?

The new CL's front profile looks exactly like the CLS's other than a different headlamp. In fact, the side profile of the new CL is just like a CLS with about a foot chopped off the rear door.

I'm ALL about the 07 CL65 AMG. It's an all together different car from the new base CL which I think we all will agree.

I cannot agree

I just do not see the cls connection. Maybe some similarities but where the difference is seems to be the "WC Fields" nose on the CL.
