Is that like saying a girl having nice personality?

I like the earlier pictures of this car, now the rear looks too high. I suppose a drop would fix that, but I'm leaning on the looks of the CL.

I'd never leave the sect for a MB, the new ones feel real cheap inside and especially this one with those Hyundai Sonata tail lights and horrid headlights and Audi style fogs, but oh well.. I've grown up with BMWs and I have blue/white blood in me instead of red. My 2c.

Without being too insensitive i've got to say frankly that the exterior looks like crap, especially the back which looks like a Hynday Sonata.


The interior is nice except the instrument clusters and the shape of the steering wheel. That's my honest opinion.
