Mercedes CL spyshots

Next Gen Mercedes CL Coupe and AMG

Ready for Launch
Here are the latest photos of the next generation Mercedes CL-Class coupe. They are showing a prototype without any disguise, just a few strips of tape were removed by computer.
As can be seen, its styling this time will be much sleeker and more elegant - boot lid and rear end reminding somewhat of the Maybach - complete with a refined luxurious interior, technical equipment and visibly flared fenders.
Engines will be available in a range from a V6 3.7 litre to the V12 4.0 litre fuel units, and possibly also for the coupe a V6 3.2 litre diesel and a V8 4.0 litre diesel. The top of the line model is going to be the AMG version powered by a 6.3 litre V12 delivering over 600 HP. The photos are showing two more latest pictures of the AMG version in cold weather testing.
The new CL is scheduled for release in December 2006, the CL AMG is for launch some time later

If Kia was trying to make a Mercedes, it might look like that. I dunno, but that's terrible! It's definitely NOT what comes to mind when I think German engineering.

I don't like it. That design reminds me of a Camry or something. If I have a Benz I want it to stand out in a crowd, no blend in and I think that car will blend in.

I like the current one's 'sharper' angles a bit more. the new one seems too rounded off.

It looks like the ******* child of some kind of weird Kia/old Honda Accord crossbreeding.  |

Looks so mundane, no sense of style. Hopefully the production version will be spruced up (or better yet changed altogether!).
I think the BMW 650i coupe is much nicer for the price.

A little *soft* for my tastes, but ok. Then again, I'm not in the market for one either  .
