It looks terrible, especially from the back. I'm now worried about the new A-Class.

Front looks good, side looks like any other CLS but that rear end looks quite bad, even cheap. Same can't be said for the interior, that looks like a very inviting and luxurious place to be.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

That looks supremely ungainly from the rear 3/4. I've never understood the appeal of the CLS — it's always looked like a downturned silver banana to me — but this one is even less classy than the previous generations.

The rear ends on all these droopy-coupes makes the car look pinched, which I suppose is appropriate.

 

[Famine]

Front end good. Back end:

The back end looks like the new-generation Octavias with a sad, featureless expression.

Factory Matte?

 

[RocZX]

Factory Matte?

M-B has had matte paints for a while now, its called Magno Alanite Grey.

That is not a pretty automobile. It makes the first gen model look like a work of art in comparison.

Sadly, that was probably the peak. Feels like the CLS has slowly aged out of it's own segment.

The Audi A7 certainly didn't help the poor Merc look any better.

 

[GTboyz]

What's up with the rear ? Ugh.

 

[bremics]

The rear reminds me of an Audi... interior is fantastic though.

 

[Stotty]

Before getting my Touareg a couple of weeks ago, I tries really hard to find a good deal on a CLS... the current (now previous) generation is a very good looking car IMO, with a super high quality interior.

Wouldn't have this one - the interior is nice enough (though not in the colours shown above),and the front end looks decent (in typical Merc fashion), but the rear looks like a CLA - squashed/out of proportion.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

It seemed like someone in the design department realized all the main cars looked too round and decided some angles would make it look better.

 

[Huzar]

Loving the engine choice, can't stand V6s.

I'm going to miss old school mechanical gauges, lcd screen pfff the hell with that.

Meh, the last one looks better in everyway except maybe interior.

So hopefully they'll be some sweet deals then on the old models? Got nearly $10k off my Sonata Hybrid during a clearout.

I’m wondering what car you drive...

 

[Omnis]

Form of...
AUDI!

 

[kikie]

I'll join in and raise you all >>>bad looking car IMO and even the interior looks and the wheels look small in comparison with the rest of the car.

Front end looks rather good though.

 

[Danoff]

Form of...
AUDI!

It looks grumpy

I found--and still find--the first generation quite attractive, and not simply as it relates to later examples.

can't stand V6s

Of course you can't.

Mercedes CLS 53 AMG to debut in 2019.

CLS 53 AMG unveiled at Detroit:

The highlight of the new model is of course the powertrain, which is comprised of a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine with 435hp and 383lb-ft (520Nm) of torque paired to an EQ Boost starter-alternator that can momentarily provide an additional 21hp (16kW) and 184lb-ft (250Nm) of torque. AMG has fitted the new straight-six engine with one regular turbocharger and one electric auxiliary compressor while the EQ Boost unit is mounted between the engine and transmission. The electric compressor offers high charge pressure without any delay when moving off with the help of the EQ Boost unit, enabling the 3.0-liter straight six engine to perform essentially without lag.

The new CLS 53 claims a 0-62mph (100km/h) in 4.5 seconds and a top speed up to 167mph (270km/h) while returning a combined 8.5lt/100km (27.6mpg).
