Like it.

Say goodnight to the A5. Once again Audi will be a day late and a dollar short.

Take away the tristar and it looks like a Chyrsler front end IMHO . MB will surely benefit from offloading Chrysler. The new S looks awkward too I hope they don't screw up the SL , Too me it is the most beautiful " looking " production car on the road.

Cheers

Agree.

The original CLK was more along the line of an E-Class coupe. With the second generation, it became a C-Class coupe. Definitely not the same appeal.

I'm liking the front. Very reminccent of the '88 560 SEC. Loved that car.

ill agree with that. but not that it looks like a chrysler front end, but resembles one. and that the SL is one of the beautiful looking production cars on the road. looking at that pic, im not attracted to it. just my opinion.

Not feeling it at this point and I assume it'll be overpriced like everything MB, but it might look better in real life.

Needs a little work, but they are going in the right direction.

Looks like MB is using this headlight theme for their new cars. Spy shots of the upcoming E class revealed the same thing... high beams were separated from the main headlight assembly into their own, smaller compartment located just inside the main headlights.
It reminds me of the Lexus GS cars.
