Really? I showed mine to a few Enzo and Carrera GT owners/friends, and they all commented that it was beautiful and better looking than the previous car and also the Bentley GT.

I love mine and can't wait for the CL63.

friends who own enzo and carrera gt have better taste than everyone else?

If they think the current CL is anywhere near the Bentley GT looks-wise....evidently they have very bad taste.

what kind of stupid comment is that? design and look are all subjective..

for me, i hate the BGT.... as i have always commented that it looks like a piece of soap and look very clumsy.... not sporty at all.

This is true with everything I suppose. I think we have seen and will continue to see a "Love it or Hate it" view on the W216 body. Much like we have seen on Bangles BMW designs.

For me, I feel most the new Mercedes designs look too much like everything else that is out there. Even across model lines. Sadly, I will more than likely look into another marque soon when it comes time to replace my W215 CL.

I guess this is what makes the world interesting. We all have different tastes and desires. If we were all the same it would be quite a boring world.

One thing we all should agree on is that most the engineering in the new models is a thing of beauty.

It is funny to read these old threads, funny how beautiful the CL with the AMG package looks compared with the previous model. I think time changes these designs and the ones we like. I love the classic look of older models but it is interesting how the new ones grow on you.

I have an 09 cl550 and would love to see this happen.

On a separate note does anyone know if 2011 Headlights will fit a 2009 CL550? I remember when I owned an 07 Range Rover and every dealer, Maitnence guy everyone told me the new 2010 LED rear tai lights wouldn't fit and work and I bought them anyway and they fit and worked perfect so I want someone to answer that actually knows for a fact whether it will or not.

Thanks and Happy TG!!!

Pretty much everything from the front end of the "post refresh" (2011-2013) CL550 is different from the front of the "pre refresh" CL550. Everything from the A pillar forward is different in the post refresh model years: the engine, the shape of the hood, the shape and height of the front bumper, the shape of the light housings, etc. 2011-2013 is much more square looking in the front, similar to the newer CLS and the rumored upcoming next generation S/CL.
