The first thing that strikes me is that all the headlights have different shapes..
I do like the old oval shapes better. But, I am sure the new shapes will be nice to look at too.

@ simple1

The pic you state as a Z3 is a Z4, the Z3 is not being built anymore, and was real ugly.


The Z3 was also biult as a coupe, different body style though, this car is nniiice, also comes as a M.

the CL and CLK photos appear to be the same....
hahaha, you are right. They are the same picture.

When I look at the CL, I think it looks okay. But when I look at the CLK, I think it looks HOT. What's wrong with me...??

Give mercedes 2 years and its gonna have the best looking cars. But it will never be better than bmw(driving wise) but the exterior and interior will be very luxurious and styling. Also all the the 2007 CLK500, CLS500,CL500, SL500, and SLK500 will be getting bigger engines and a name change the 500 will be changed to 550 (5.5 liters, 32 valve, V8 engine producing 382hp and 391 lb of torque.)
