2007 CL-Class - Page 11

Well I agree it takes a little bit of imagination Kleemann, but if you try looking at it in a more abstract way......there are some similar characteristics - at least to me.

Of course this is all "In My Opinion"

I hope Huckfeldt is right. I really like the huge imposing front end and the taught rear. While the current CL is endlessly elegant, I also find it bland and boring. BMW and Audi have shown Mercedes they need to push the styling bar towards designs that are a bit bolder.

Do you really think that PS is nicer than the current design Mr. Mercedes?

I do agree with you that Mercedes should have bold and innovative designs, but they should be really good looking too - I don't think it is part of the Mercedes tradition to be controversial.

Mr. Mercedes · 11-20-2005, 05:08 PM

Yes I really do Roberto.

Anyhow, i'll wait untill I see the final product before rushing to a conclusion. But just as BMW's flame surfacing alienated a lot of traditional customers, the same may be true for benz. However I think the company will prpbably be better off in the long run for it. At this point in time, they simple can't afford for their cars to look boring.

I see what you mean: the side crease called "character line". But that's it already. I don't see any other similarities, do you?
It's really an exaggeration to say that they look alike.

Hypersonic · 11-22-2005, 07:12 PM

I think the shape of the rear (lights, bumpers etc.) has similarities.

What I really mean is, ever since I first was that PS, it has reminded me of that Hyundai - it's not so much that they look identical or anything, it's just a general overall "feeling". I understand some of you might think I'm being deliberately antagonistic, but I assure you that was not my intention - it is a genuine observation, but of course completely my opinion
