STUNNING.

I absolutely love it. It puts the 6-series to shame, is a nice complement to the W221 S-Class, and rivals the SL and CLS in looks. Probably better looking than the CLS, actually.

Only negative things to say are horrible wheels (I think they used the same ones in the early W221 promo photos), and the front bumper is a step backward. But slap on an AMG-bodykit, and watch out, this car will probably set itself on fire.

Go MB.

I give it a 8 1/2 out of 10 because it is too much alike of the other new ones

I love it as well!

That would be the color I'd choose for the new CL - metallic white exterior and a black/cognac designo interior with piano black laquer. Fine!


BTW: I like it without the AMG kit, and the wheels are niccccccce.

It's amazing how close the renderings in Autoweek from June '05 compare to the actual....

True, but how about MBCanada.com (Bigfoot) from February 2004 ? The Huckfeldt drawings/pictures are virtually identical to this weeks "leaked" pictures of the new CL.

Love the CLS crease and fender flares. Not liking the Acura tail lights.

The front end just doesn't flow well to me. The back end is better, but you are right about the lights. Overall, not as bad as I feared, but doesn't have me in a rush to trade my 03 either!
