A little too busy for my taste, but better than the base model.

Your kidding me right? Why the **** would anyone do such a thing to a fine car like the CL? I think I want to throw up after looking at some **** like that. I also think that if anyone thinks that this is hot, then they have some serious issues that must be discussed immediately.

calm down and grab some pepto is you feel sick. Those feeling will pass. We can all agree that it is somewhat over done. It is sad that the CL216 is a 100k+ car and still needs serious help in the looks department. I give auto-couture thumbs up for the effort.

Its so hideous, its beautiful.....but seriously, what I do like is the front spoiler (optical illusion aside), it tends to give more purpose to the blase front of the stock CL (ex-AMG). But as one of you commented, it may very well be an optical illusion (objects in front of you are larger than they appear to be???)
