I don't know if I like the fender flares on this car. And I agree that the interior looks like the bimmer's.

Wow, great job MB at stealing the 7 series design! The exterior looks very Maybach'ish

Not crazy about it.. You would figure after the success of the CLS that MB would follow that line.. Now I cant wait to see The new Caracature copy that Lexus is going to do for the new LS series..

exterior is ok. but i really wonder why MB would want to go after BMW's interior design. doesn't make much sense for a car that's gonna hit head on the market.

Hideous.

BMW is probably pretty relieved as those butt ugly BMWs now have some competion for butt ugliest car. The S used to be elegant, smooth and sporty. It now looks like a hunk of American junk.

Audi's sales number will probably keep going up and up. Good news for future Lambo developments.
