Sport package might look something like this E63 package except for the side vents.

I don`t think so PHYBENZ. That look is strictly for the E63!

The new sport package will look like this. The E550s` gonna be stunning with this look!!

One step forwards (interior) two steps backwards (front and back ends).

Overall I don't like this fl.

Well I'm quite happy with it - I'll get used to the new front styling...and thank God they dropped those damn electronic brakes - I'm now hoping we will finally begin to hear less and less of the "technical issues" that have plagued Mercedes-Benz over the past decade.

I think I'ts just a matter of getting used to changes to what was already and extremely elegant vehicle. I think it looks great on all accounts.

But looks aside, I want to hear more from MB about the quality drive that has gone into this facelift and how the interior and dynamics of the car have been lifted.

That in itself is a big step foward!
I also read the f/l version has a 10% faster steering rack with the standard
Direct Control performance and retuned chassie. MB says the performance has been stepped up a good deal.

Now I don't want to sound sour but in some pics the front does look very weird. I just don't get it though but I guess I'll have to see one in real life to really give my opinion. As of right now I really like it in dark colors, but I were to buy one it would be in dark black anyways.

Anyways, as to a lot of the complaints about how this car is ugly, yeah in some pics it does look vomit-good. But the damn PR pics are in Gold and I flippin hate that color because it will even make a DB9 look bland.

Yes it will, particularly in the U.S. if that pricing/equipment letter posted on MBWOLRD.org is legit.

Some pics from Autoweek:

A quote from Automobile Magazine:

For '07, Mercedes-Benz also endows the mid-sizer with standard crash-anticipating safety features and an optional lighting system that will make many other cars' headlights seem like gas lanterns.

I like that.....too bad we won't get this in the U.S!!!
