Nice specs, but what did MB do to the design? Maybe theyre spending too much time over at Chrysler? The headlights look like they came off an ES300, the taillights look like one on the Civic and lines down the side give the same feeling as a Maybach. Very little on this car says Mercedes Benz to me.

BTW, whats a CLS? Is this a new line?

On the other hand, the interior, aside from the steering wheel, looks especially nice. The gauge cluster is clean and elegant, the dash is nice and those seats look awesome.

It's a new line... The CLS is their 4 door coupe.
