I think there was a better photoshop of one a couple months back...it was a 6 with 4 actual doors (with door handles) and I think the colour was SG.

OMG, I remember that photochop. It was fugly.

This rendition looks much better. Still, if it's to compete with the CLS shouldn't it have 4 doors?

It does. Look at the lines of the car. Just don't see a handle.

Of course not. Everything that has to do with Auto Bild is unserious.
