First Shots Of The Next Generation Mercedes CLS

From what I've seen i like the older generation better, but i'll reserve my final judgment until I've seen better photos.

485HP V6 on a FWD car that was design to house a 4 cyl ?
Ever heard of torque steer, weight distribution ?

Yeah, YOU can see it, only you...

Hyundai Sonata w/cheap body kit VS Mitsubishi Gallant "ralliart", I can see that.

What is this fascination with an Asian rental-car brand? Nobody actually owns one of those cars....

The side mirrors are to big and stick out

It's hard to improve on an already amazing design.

Nice tail lights but the 2011 M56 wants them back.

So they decided to make a 5 door E-class? The new design is not as "CLS" as it should be.

it's an artists depiction of what the car might look like, so reserve your judgements until mercedes actually show official photos, not some magazine that thinks they have the first scoop.

Torque steer isn't and will never be cool why would you want to fight to get a car to go where you want it? Why don't you keep your seat slider unlocked while you are at it... that way when you step on the gas you have to pull yourself forward and when you hit the brakes you have to hold yourself back.

No I don't like billions HPs

I like a balanced chassis with a decent power output in a decent family car format. BMW 3er is a car of choice but a little bit expensive. But still, a Sonata will never be an option.

I will never buy a rental car with no resale value.

Since I'm not rich enough to own a bimmer, I'll go for an GLI jetta for my next car. I don't want to lease again, I want to buy and keep the car for at least 4 years.

i dont like the artists interpretation. when the cls was first released, as i was admiring the styling i thought to myself "how the hell will they improve on this for the next generation?". the only thing i dont like on the current cls is the headlights.

they created a bold and beautiful design. the target was set so high, its almost impossible for them to improve it.

My last car had torque steer, for the most part I ignored it but never once did I find it amusing. My current fwd car was thankfully designed well enough to get rid of 95% of it.
