how handsome I am
whole idea of the CLS always confused me (4dCoupe) for a while. I started appreciating the design of a sporty sedan like it over the past couple years though. This car really is gorgeous.

If you wait a few years you'll probably be able to get a low mileage CPO one for cheap.

Reminds me a little of the VW CC

Doesn't look nearly as nice as the old one IMO.

maybe the CC was designed with the 1st gen CLS in mind... but when I looked at the CC the first time, it never crossed my mind that it was a wannabe CLS. But, at first glance of this new CLS, that was the first thing I thought of... "hmmmm kinda looks like a CC"

Design cues from the CLS above were established by MB in 2007 with the C. Look spread to SL, GLK, and E from there... long before VW CC which is a poor copy of the original.

I never get why people always think Four Door Coupe X looks like Four Door Coupe Y.
The CC, CLS (new and old), and Sonata look nothing alike to me. Even the rooflines have their own archs.

well, FWIW... I said it "reminds" me... but after you said about the roof lines... I looked into it... they look very similar to me

pretty nonsensical to make a comparison to the CC. who cares. so the CLS looks like a car that was designed after it? whats the point? you think MB would redesign around an underpriced wannabe like the CC? no way.
BTW, that rear has a shocking resemblance to the maxima.

One has a V-8 that twists the rear wheels, and one doesn't.

This is good but the first one looked cleaner IMO, and cleaner is better.
