I think it looks horrible and is a completely uneccessary addition to the MB line. The design is just way too bottom heavy IMO.

CLS55's are out in Europe !

Nice car but like was said......unneccesary ! Just a way for MB to make more $'s. Desguise an E-Class with a different body and add 20% to the price !

It's not my taste at all - I don't really like it. My next car will be the Techart 997

997 here too.
Hope TA comes out with something more aggressive than what they have now for the 997...looks too bland/ordinary like every other kit maker.

The 996 TA GT Street kit had way more flare and character than the current one.

997

I would love to get that as well, but the back seat is just too small for the little ones.
