Oh... well, i'll just keep my opinion short. I dont agree with the award...so yeh. But i'll still congrat the MB CLS for gettin it.

Just yesterday while i was driving home from uni...i saw a 'bronze' (not sure wat the official MB name for the color is) ....it was a CLS500. At first i was curious to see how it looked, because this was the first time i was actually driving alongside one......and i came to the conclusion that this car does not really look all that appealing. Ofcourse in AMG trim it is AWESOME..but standard trim... not such a pretty sight.

(IMO ofcourse)

Like he said!

Even if CLS wins all the design awards in the world still it will be one of the Mercedes models that don't look like a Mercedes.

The CLS possesses an unmistakable design language that is Mercedes-Benz.

okey MB fans. Enlighten me, what else besides the badge tells you this is a Mercedes-Benz?

Re: CLS voted best design 'Popular Mechanics'
Well all MB cars don't need to have the head lights of the ww140 s-class and tail lights of the ww220 in order to look like a Benz. MB can change their design and go radical too, just like BMW did with the 7er.
