Ditto. A Toyota Avalon altered to look a bit meaner. IMHO.

It looks like the middle shifter is moved from the center to the side of the steering wheel like the new S class. I think that sucks, especially in a coupe. I know the CL isn't supposed to be a sport car, but its also not supposed to be a truck.

Too much masking to see it properly.
I'm not feeling that crease down the middle of the hood.

Looks like an Acura rear end with a BMW front. Did anyone else notice that?

CL63 to be Introduced in September at the Paris Show

From the July 17th issue of Autoweek:

'At the Paris motor show in September Mercedes boss Dieter Zetsche will also pull the wraps off the new CL63 AMG. The replacement for the CL55 receives AMG’s 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 good for 514 hp and 464 lb-ft, and is due to reach North American customers early next year. Also planned is a follow-up to the rapid CL65 AMG running the same 6.0-liter twin-turbo as the outgoing model, with 612 hp and 737 lb-ft."

There are no plans for a diesel—Mercedes says CL customers don’t want it.
