no... i don't have any comment about what age group is good for CL. I said that coz it seems only Nevada Jack likes this new CL...

To be honest I can see this being the hottest benz to have when it hits the streets in the U.S....until the next SL hits. Some people buy based on what the public majority wants, others buy exactly what they personally think is appealing and others buy a combo of both.

I'm 18 and I think the car looks pretty hot. When the S550 first came out I thought it looked weird but once I saw it in person and in AMG form, it looked sick. I am going to bet the new CL will have the same affect on me.

I am still kinda concerned about the new tail lights though, they just don't look good, but everybody thought that about the new S550's tail lights too (sometimes I am still uncertain about them).

Here is a pic of a silver CL63 AMG that has been floating the boards. It makes the standard CL seems downright tame.

That is an excellent image. I think they stole the camera angle from my signature pic...LOL

This is actually a graphic rendition more than an actual photo and the elongation and "squatty" perspective creates a great feeling. That said it is one bad looking car!

The C215 was nearly impossible to obtain unless you knew someone at a dealership that had an allocation of early release CL's. As soon as the new SL hit the market in 2003, CL's became available. Recently, the CL's have been difficult for dealers to sell. It's all cyclical as many of those who buy this type of vehicle tend to want the latest and greatest as soon as it hits the street. As soon as the next "new one" makes its debut, they move on.

Anyone know if someone is producing the CL63 AMG front bumper yet? It looks pretty awesome and would be a great mod.

Yes exactly. Something is out of wack when a 4 door luxo sedan looks more agressive then a 2 door coupe.

I saw an S550 with the AMG kit and it looked pretty good but I can't get over the looks of the new CL. Yes, the new CL looks to be the love child of an Acura RL and Toyota Solara with the fenders of new Ford Expedition.
