I didn't get it at first. It's more like "Kiss me, I'm a Mercedes put under a spell" (like a prince turned into a frog).

Remember the old tale? Kiss the ugly frog, and it turns into a price? They are saying that the 997 is the ugly frog, and the CLS 55 AMG is the price.

seriously, MB's been smoking the chris-bangle crackpipe if they think the CLS looks better than the 997.

Regardless of whether they're poking fun or not, it's flattering that they blew that much ad space on a large pic of a 997.

Not really funny ... but yeah, the CLS pwnz (for lack of better words) the 997 when it comes to styling!
Cocky, though. Wouldn't make me buy a CLS.

Didn't Porsche create/engineer the first generation E500 for MB? What is up with this?
