Somehow it looks a like the soon to be introduced 08 Jaguar XF! Now the new cars are looking a lot like the Austin Martins.

If copying is the best form of flattery, then both the Aston's and CLS' styling are being copied profusely these days.

The CLS is in a design class all by itself. The cars (Austins M, BMW 8, Jaguar XF and the Bentleys) are fastbacks but the CLS has the stance of the chopped or lowered design/look. It's just plain sexy.

Cool

Agreed whoheartedly re the prior comments. Although the Bentleys look expensive and are substantial, neither they nor any other car looks as "stationary-motion" as does the CLS. That said, the Maserati QP is a beautiful 4 door hi-performance sedan.

That is disgusting.

Atleast the Aston Martin Rapide looks classy.

Finally a new-gen BMW four door with an embracable design--well, the new three is not bad either.
