Looks like they're really doing away from the quad-lamps and adopting the CLS look in the front and CLK in the rear eh?

Takes some getting used to for me. The rear especially doesn't look very upscale. The current CL has much classier lines even at the very first time I saw it. Again I hope those pictures are just some random photochops.

Nahh don't like at all. The only thing that MB has out that I like is the SL, the current CLK's are weak.

I really like current CLK and CL. Im not so sure about these artist renditions though. I really hope they continue to evolutionize there cars rather than come up with radical designs.

the CL600 and CL500 current versions look sweet in my opinion...they should not change them for another few years....

I really love current CL. Lexus needs to offer something like that cause right now CL has no threating competition in my eyes (I don't like BMW 6).

As far as the pics go I like them. They all have some CLS in 'em which is a good thing I supose but I saw CLS few days ago and it's not all that. It looks much better in pictures but in real life it doesn't have the presence. I think new GS looks better than it.

I guess since Bangle doesn't use the crease much anymore, Benz will use it now. And hella others.

I love the current CL. It is perfect, IMO. The current CLK=blah. Give me the CLK-DTM though....I'd hit that.

Those new pics look good!

I'm a fan of both the CL and the CLK. I like the CL more, I'm sure we're all pretty much the same on that. The thing is, the new CLK was just released in 03, the cabriolet in 04. Seem kinda soon to do away with it? I think it's selling fine, I see quite a few of them around.

Top model (possible CL) looks fabulous!
At least one of the two German giants is doing something right as far as design goes. (referencing BMW)

Agreed. The current CL is one of the most beautiful cars on the road today, hands down.

Thanks for the picture sexy

At first glance I thought it was the previous Solara.

I totally agree with everyone, I loooooove the current CL! When nicely modded, it's very sweet!
