I like the front ....but not so sure about the profile -- I wonder where they got the idea for that from?

ahem..

I'm not feeling the drag queen-ish tail lights and it looks like the CLK will get them as well. Hopefully they won't look as flamboyant on the production car.

Love that they broke the shoulder line, will help make it not look like a banana on wheels.

^ Ha ha -- well that is true .....if indeed, it ever really looked like "a banana on wheels" -- I always quite liked the dynamism of the CLS ...this redesign losers some of that IMO.

No, no I don't like that at all. I want another clean, unadorned design like the current CLS. That Huck thing looks a mess IMO.

They've got a big job redesigning the current model- even after 5 years it still looks quite unique and stunning.

As for the impression, Huck's usually accurate. If so, then i think we another beauty in the line-up.

Another thing, if this is based on the next E-Klasse (which we all think it will), will it have the gear-shift in the steering column or would Merc have to re-engneer it on the centre console?

that is a weird chop. I know that there is heavy mb concept influence in there...but c'mon. That just looks odd.

well well i am still not shure yes it looks good the front but i dont know how mb are going to design the next gen cls becuase remeber the current one has its own identity in terms off exteriro and interior and i dont no if mb are going for the sport look off what hucks pic shows or merc going to carry it on as a classy styled mb

which ever way they choose its really going to be a tough car for them to design or do...but thats what i thaght with the sl and they stunned me with the face lift so lets see i dont like where the grill and bonnet meets reminds me off some dodge models and i love that rear wheel arch ...also toomuch black plastics on the bottom off front

that is pretty sharp. I see some Z4 in the side.
