New CL vs last generation

Which do you like better?

The last generation CL looks bigger and boxy, and has more of a presence.

I like the new one, with it's nice curves, but I think they need to fix the roll beam at the back with the glass. It looks wierd.

What do you think of the motors? NA vs TT

most of the older benzes had a larger presence. But you just can't deny the newer models are sexy. I like the older S-class b/c it looked so much bigger- the new ones are easily confused with the C or E class from far away.

I'm loving the smooth lines of the new models... They are getting sexy. Minus the C-Class coupe.

I like the CL pillar (rear one; is it the C pillar, or B since it's lacking a central door one?).. I like how it gets narrow as it meets the trunk... unique looking.

The new CL headlights are my favorite... Ever...

you could always buy an 03 and put the 02 AMG wheels on it. voila it will be an 03 that looks like an 02.

How is the C- Coupe not sexy? I think it looks just as sexy as all of the new ones, so does my boss who has an s-500 and a cl-55. If your talking about the rear end thats just taste.
