Based on these last pics I think the car will have a very muscular and aggressive look,much more so then the current CL (a masterpiece to begin with).
Definitely keeping my order for CL65......

based on all of the various pics, spy-shots, computer renderings, concept drawings, i

have yet to see ANYTHING impressive.
this new scion500 probably shares the same platform as the toyota solara, the lines are very ford ****-probe GT. cars DO look different from photos to the actual finished product at the dealership. but i have not yet been wrong about cars based on photos. before the CL, i have successfully avoided: the new 7-series, the 6-series, LS430, the S550, the new M5, range rover sport, CLKs, etc. i think the only car that i can look forward to is the honda HSC or a modena

OMG! Did they hire Bangle or what??

I'm sure that it looks better in person, and maybe it will grow on us, but right now I prefer the sexier lines of the current version. I think that looks like

Well, well, well. That is the first "real" photo of what the new CL550 will look like. All I can say is this: It looks nothing more than a 2-door S550. Given this, I would rather go with the S then! Before now, the CL-class body style had a definite distinction from the S-class. No more! Not worth the extra cost, less room, and no more sporty than the already sporty S! Just my 2 cents. I think the current W215 has more panache. C-yah, CL!

Perhaps if they come out with an AMG roadster version.

I already put down a $1,000 deposit. I'm blown,this car looks weak
Definately doesnt look like a car with a $90,000 price tag
Time for me to look for an alternative

why in ****s sake would you put a deposit on a car in which you dont even know what it looks like.

$1000 deposit???

Nice!!!

First, you believe that some kook put a g deposit down for a benz he didn't know about, AND you think it is conceivable that any dealer without any solid invoice numbers or availability volume numbers for a car that's not even prepped yet from the manufacturer would accept just $1000 from some schmo off the street???

For a $1000, every poser and wanna-be can be on that list; even if it is a big fat Toyota Solara.

its ok, you dont have to beleive me. i dont need you to.
call MB of Manhattan and ask them if you can put a deposit for the new CL. They might not want to b/c they dont know you, but they know me. I first had a deposit on the CLS55, but decided to wait for the new CL so they said they will leave the deposit for the CL. its not like they dont know if it will come out, its just a matter of time before it DOES.
