My feelings too. I suspect when I see it in person at the car show, it will be confirmed.

I went to the SF Auto Show today and unfortunately MB was not present. I wonder if MB will be at the San Jose Auto Show this year.

Well I will wait to see in person but I think it looks overdone, awkward and busy and the Benz star and CLS badge is doing its usual trickery.

Then again I don't understand people going bananas over the E-class sedan/coupe either.

Interior seems very well done but too square for me.

That's terrible. I hope they show at SJ in January.

Interior is beautiful.

Exterior? Hmmm.... It almost looks too busy, too much going on, and I really don't like the slumping rear. And I don't like the rear lights at all. For me, it makes the car "unpurchasable" for me. It all just doesn't come together well. I'd rather have the new 4-door coupe Audi. It's less expensive, and I don't need all the panache.

Damn, that Mercedes is fast as hell though.
