the ps'd images look like shit

but the one of the actual car doesn't look tooo bad

i think the C and E class look better though ;) much better

I'm pretty sure the actual car will look like that probably even worst!

This is what I call a Mercedes...

They're not "biting off" anybody. Maybe you missed the part where I said "stay[ing] current and competitive".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz#Innovations

that shit is hideous

the rear looks like a tiburon........

both ugly

and... they are credited with inventing the modern automobile

wow, never new so many people disliked the new mercedes line up

i too like the cl's aggressive look but that thing is super long, i compared the cl63 coupe next to a s550 sedan(there biggest sedan) and they are almost the same length*wow!*

i like the new looks of the mercedes line up, but i never liked the cls, the 4 door coupe just doesn't cut it for me

i just hope that they don't make one of those ridiculous suv cross overs like the bmw x6 or hond accord suv, man are those 2 cars ugly, there just like oversize sedans

and i agree with nns, if people are going to say that mercedes is biting off from other cars, then what about hyundai, accord, and altima biting off the g35 coupe? in the automotive world if you don't adapt then you lose

^ that i agree with, im saying instead of staying current why not come up with something new like new kind of lighting or something that other cars can copy. Mercedes Technology is no doubt amazing like the safetly features and such, but there lacking design and arent thinking of new concepts, instead they just use other car companies ideas to keep current.

^this is also true, but the big issue is that its a hit or miss

like when they came out with the c230 compressor they lost a lot of money even tho they were trying to appeal to the lower class with there pricing

and in this economic state that the world is in, no company can afford to make such a mistake

just look at toyota with the pedal issue, imagine an entire car thats a flop

that being said, i think that the E coupe is a totally new design for mercedes, which i like a lot, its also named the worlds most aerodynamically made vehicle, the lights are new, and its the first coupe to have a full panoramic roof with a glass sunroof as well

Ugly. Flame surfacing is so outdated. Even BMW and Audi have both moved on.

they screwed up the shape on the new one... the new one looks like a 4 door sedan now, which is not the point of the CLS... the original looked like a coupe not a bulky mini s-class

^strongly agree, i have a a feeling newb people will be getting confused which to buy the CLS or the E class now...

the car is definitely going to look like that

after days of thinking what the front looked like i came out with

those taillights are harsh Genesis style. soo ugly!

a base CL is not aggressive looking at all. the amg models are for sure but just the basic design and curves of a CL is far from agressive.

bump
new video shot in Vancouver :)
!

its starting to grow on me

Wow, it doesn't look that bad in the video...

I never got the point of a 4-door coupe. Guess some ppl just have too much money to waste.

front grill is not very good looking.

resembles a truck

yeah looks pretty good in the video.. but still not digging those taillights

uncanning?

clearly ESL wasn't enough to straighten out the fob in ya' lol.

i think this looks much better than the previous CLS

man, BMW and Benz are failing pretty hard with their new designs outside of like 1-2 models a peice

^ wurd.
