I beg to differ a great deal! the new CL was clearly inspired by the older version 560SEC, MB really went "retro" with the new CL and gave it a more toned softer feel to the look. This design wasn`t BMW inspired.
Take a look for yourself..
I even noticed that the new CL has the same "winged" edge at the headlights much like that of the 1975-87 Mercedes SL. I thought that was a BMW 7er orignal but it clearly isn`t. MB had this idea ages ago. The new CL has this this design but on a morden note!
Now if we are talking about the
CL63 AMG body kit looking like the M6, well thats wrong again because that kit orignally came form the Bi-Turbo charged SL65 that came on the scene a little more than 2 years ago before the M6 was born. That kit has just arrived on the 2007 W221 S65! and has trickled all the way down to the CLK63 this time (the W220 S65 didn`t have that kit. It had the same AMG kit as the S55.) The CL63 has almost twice the surface attention to design than the M6 does.
