Are u kidding me?

Dude even the average folks who are not car nutts like us here said that it is a nice car but definitely poor man's CLS.

The CLS especially after the FL has a much upscale interior,exterior,RWD and of course the insane engines.

No contest here at all,it's like comparing the E93 with an EOS or X6 against Toureg.

CLS is still ugly, CC is not.

For me, after all those years, the CLS is now a beautiful car, i just needed some time to realise it. The CC is, too. But it's on a different league. The only thing they have in common is the coupe like roof and the 4 doors. That said, i wouldn't mind being given any of those!

only things thats look better with CLS is the interior, the rest goes to VW.
VW are having good designs lately, this and the Scirrocco.

CC is boring. Sorry!

I don't like the CC.

It feels "too much", the design does not flow like a CLS. There is no real harmony between front, side and rear. It's from the side a scandalous rip-off, with a too inclined rear window. The front is just not right, and the rear is not that convincing either with the too short, too inclined rear.

It's far from being as natural, elegant and harmonious as the CLS. And it lacks any originality, the intention to copy the CLS is too obvious.

Also, the door handles are very poorly integrated, they should be above the characterline and not under it.

The interior is well designed, the seats are sublime in leather. But it feels hollow everywhere. All the plastics are thin, the alu/wood is thin and flex under the finger, the plastic is cheap, hard, shiny on the lower dash...

No really, next to the CLS the CC is really a budget car. Everytime I see it, I think to all these "no-brand" products who mimic the big brands.

The Scirocco on the other hand is absolutely gorgeous, I love this one.
