Looks kinda weak, maybe it's just me. If I wanted a CL I'd go for something mean and that says, watch out, this is power.

looks like a well done photoshop of the W209 CLK.

If it is really though, I don't think it loks bad, but it is missing the presence factor that the current CL has.

Generic looking. Other than the grill you could be looking at an Ac or a Lexus, or for that matter a Hyundai.

The current one is ugly IMO. This new one would
be good if they added a little more to make it look
like a MB. As stated before, its very generic. I am
still a big fan of the '98 CL's because it has classic
MB lines. This one could look like a CLK if you just
catch a quick look at it.

I think the current CL is a work of art.

The front of that car doesn't look very "MBish," although the rear does.

Looks better than the current CL, but still very plain. I'd be disappointed if that's the best MB could come up with. The current CL, though ugly in my opinion, still has the road presence.

Looks good! Just the front flaired wheel wells need to be softened, I personally think.

I like the 75% of the car. But the RX-8-ish front end needs some work IMO...

I gave it a few days and.....to add....I do like the pillar-less concept but what's with the body contour extending from the the rear tail lights?!?! I don't know...I stand by my original statement.....

They've disfigured one of the most beautiful cars every produced!

That looks like what happened to the w208 clk. They took a very mean, classic looking mb coupe it and made it look soft and not unique at all. The current CL is definitely the most beautiful car they ever created. The pre 2000 Cl's are doofy. This one isnt any better than either of them... Just my 2cents
