In this way the support system reduces the driver’s workload and provides considerable benefits in driver-fitness safety.

And I'll say it one more time, Lexus can't compete unless they get a suspension as sophisticated at this.
, but the one shown by Autobild will probably be very close to the next CL class.

i'm not so sure about those wheel arches and wth is w/ the add-on trunk lid like the 7 series?! Not doubt in socal these things will sell like hot cakes just like every other benz that are sold there.
Some of the design cues look nice but the Maybach isnt what I consider stylish...
A member on our board took some pics of this car all disguised...

From that wind tunnel picture I think it's going to be a HUGE success.
