yeah, yeah...rant, rant, whine, whine, bitch, bitch
another "I don't like M-B's new car designs" thread! A few days ago I saw this M-B that was about the size of an S-class, had a CL(?) nomenclature on it but had four doors, and it was very oval. I really don't know what model it was, but the only thing that gave it away as a M-B was the star emblem I saw on the trunk. What model is this car? It really doesn't look like what I think a M-B should look like! It was just so oval, the shape of the rear, and even down to the side-view mirrors were ovalish (if that's a word). What? oval side mirrors? They were more egg-shaped rather, and the housing wasn't flat looking either. It didn't hit me as a M-B until my curiosity got the best of me and I took a better look. Yep, it's a M-B, but what model?
I have to say that I really like the newest E-class but not really the W211 that preceded it. I still very much like the W124 ('94-'95). My favorite S-class is still the awesome W140, but the newer S-class is growing on me. |
You are referring to the new CLS. In human terms, it's like Jesse Ventura in a tux!
The AMG version looks pretty hot (especially in black) with the deep dish rims! Some folks here have already voiced their displeasure of the CLS in a recent thread, but if I had the disposable income, that black AMG CLS in the showroom would be MINE! Next to the gunmetal grey SL65 of course! :cool: |
I saw a CLS500 near Toronto on my last trip out that way, looked pretty sweet I thought. If I had the extra $$$ laying around I wouldn't mind one. Looks very coupe like with the convenience of 4 doors.

I saw a CLS500 last week and I think its one of the best looking MB's yet. I think people don't like the new MB's because it makes their old MB's look.....old.

Hahaha... Hey, now!.... You're going to hurt my 300SD's feelings! ;) Seriously, the CLS is just about the only new MB design that I DO actually like. It's a nice-looking, fast-looking car. And I love the G Wagen, of course...that's just a "given". I think the rest of them just look like any other Toyota/Infiniti/Lexus/whatever. The only difference is the star (and the inflated price that goes with it). Mike |

I think the CLS is a very nice looking car. I parked next to a CLS55 the other day when I was getting lunch. Very sharp looking car, I prefer black.
I think the new SL is the best looking SL ever, except for the classics like the Pagoda and Gullwing. |
MB really needed this car, their image was getting way too boring. WHen I was in LA i saw about 5 of these cars on the road, at least 2 of them being the AMG versions (or at least up-badged, eh Hatty?). Do they use Monoblocks anymore? I always loved those.
