Kinda looks like an Acura RL to me. Not digging it.
I agree. It looks like an Acura and the headlights seem to float (almost like a Toyota). I don't care for it but I would like to see it in person.

I like it, but not my cup of tea for a daily driver.

It would be interesting to see if the automotive press says anything negative about the headlights with the thick eyebrow. When BMW introduced the E65 7 series the press bashed BMW for three things: iDrive, Bangle Butt, and eyebrow over headlights. However, when MB's new S class was introduced with the E65 inspired interior, dash, iDrive, and even Bangle butt it was all of the sudden "all good" with the press. All of the sudden when MB's S class now had a centralized controller like iDrive the press said that "with so many functions in the car a centralized controller is necessary".....which is the same reasoning that BMW had given a few years earlier, but I guess it was not a good enough reason for the press back then.

Now others are copying the thick eyebrow over the headlight (ala E65 and E63). The Scion tC started it a few years ago and now this MB CL has it too. I suppose now it would be praised by the auto press since MB has it too.
