That is one awesome looking car. It's already grown on me. When the 4th or 5th year of it is around, that'll be my next new car. I've learned to wait until then to get one. The best options, packages, etc. will be out in around the 2011 year model. For now, the 215 is still my favorite. I still think the 215 will be a timeless classic.

Hmm.. I'm kinda disappointed because I was expecting something amazing. I do like this picture though.

I couldn't get Google to translate the Dutch from the MB-Netherlands web site, but the multiple pictures are new and nice !

Mommy drives a '93 Opel Astra
NOW THAT IS BURNING HOT!!!

by the way: the title of the dutch MB site reads "Een drom van een coupé".

Because dutch is so close to german, I could translate the line to "Ein Traum von einem Coupé" which is "A dream of a coupe".
And I can only agree... (except the rear, but it still grows on me)

The only problem is that by the time it's in its 4th or 5th year, the next generation CL will be readying itself! Gone are the days when Mercedes bodystyle changes lasted a solid 8-10 years.

See, what I love about the new CL model is that the front end looks like an updated W140 CL, one of my favorite MB's of all time.
