No, buy glasses.

From the outside, however, the only thing I see is that the lower window chrome strip is covered by by the camouflage, not any part of the window.

The mirror is mounted on the proper position for that as well. Perhaps you need some glasses?

Here is the latest rendering of what Autobild believes this thing looks like...

I'm hoping the windows only look small because of the lower camouflage, as a way to conceal the true body shape of the car. Otherwise if the windows will really be that small, the profile will look odd, with the bottom of the windows not even aligning with the rest of the car. It will be a serious departure from not only the sedan, but also pretty much everything else on the road. Also, in the profile shots here the bottom of the side windows are completely crooked, so there in my opinion there is some sort of masking going on.

If you look at the first interior shot, there's some sort of odd fabric overlay on the door. So it looks like the window dimensions are being purposely masked.

Maybe I am mistraken, but Isn't it standard now? The 2011, 2012, and 2013 CLs have it. You can pull the button off and insert your key fob, maybe that's what this guy is doing.

What's interesting is there seems to be a fixed touch/dial pad where the sliding cover for the traditional dial pad is located on the S sedan. I wonder if this will be a similar set up that Audi uses.

IMO carrying over the S Class dash on the CL (or "S Coupe") is too old-timey ("Luxury Sofa"-ish) for a car that's intended to be a little sportier. CL deserves classy/classic old-world interior luxury as well, but it should be transitioned into a sportier, more driver oriented setup than the Sedan.

I agree. I guess lots of the craziness regarding the S's interior kind of confuse me. Looks very geriatric which I though Mercedes was trying to move away from.

That's why you don't see the seat controls

But yes the window will be narrower

The MMI interface and the instrument cluster has been merged into a single console..i think that is just great..the dashboard however looks way intuitive and it seems the design has been drawn straight out of some kind of space ship..i think the future is here.

Forget trying to work out what the undiguised exterior looks like. It is shown very clearly in the right hand screen on the dash.
