I don’t like it. The taillights look Audi A5 / BMW 335 Coupe copy and those tiny boxy headlights make the grill look oversized like the mouth on a groper fish. Main thing I dislike is that it will make my E55 look old!

Come on guys, it is so much a fake. Nothing official on the CLK for at least another 12 months.

Rear taillights look like an Audi A6.

I don't like the front. I hope thats not what MB wants to do with the new CLK.....split up the headlights like that.

I can help you with that by relieveing you of your E55. Consider it a community gesture. I hate to see you suffer. I will do the suffering for you.

Ho hum. The front end is so high it's almost truck like. Blame it on the new European pedestrian safety regs. It's rippling through the industry a bit like the US bumper laws did back in the 1970s.

As for the rest of the car, like the 209 it replaces, it looks to me like it was designed by a committee.

Nothing really wrong with it, nothing really right with it either.

Hate the headlights, spoiler, and gapping mouth, hate the pedestrian rear brake lights, Love the front flared fender but the rear flare looks like 944. If it were legit I would not be a fan.

If MB did that then wouldn't that be too much of a direct rip off of Audi. I hope they don't do that. I want them to lead, not follow.
