Like:

1. Front headlights and front shape in general. Makes it look more like an S-Class. If I had to choose, I prefer the headlights of the SL the best, then these S-Class type lights and W211 front headlamps are my least favorite in the MB lineup.

Dislike:

1. MB emblem in grill
2. Rear window make it look a little like a hatchback/coupe (I guess it is a coupe, that's why), I much more prefer the more sedan look of the W211 from the rear.

The car looks great overall, but the rear looks too much like a Jag, especially the way the top of the trunk lid curves over the tail lights, and the design of the tail lights in general.

But, overall beautiful!

According to Autospies , who has seen the car , the rear is just about spot on with this Photoshop job. The front , they say, is way off from this version- the lights will be " L " shaped instead , taller and narrower like on some current Nissans .

Front looks like an infiniti (kinda like G35). Side looks like the new Lexus ES300 and the rear is just bleh. The pics from august look better.

It will have a V6 CDI biturbo that produces 265 HP and 560 NM. 6.4s for 0-100 km/h and 250 km/h max. This is the engine of the vision CLS that we will see at frankfurt, I'm quitesure that it will the actual range of V6-8
