As if we needed more proof... Check out the new Benz CSL.

Mercedes has proven that it is possible to build a modern, beautiful sedan whose design needs no excuses.

 

yeah......the new 6-Series is so ugly......

 

I second that motion that Bangle needs to go.

 

While I do agree that Bangle has got to go - over on the M-B board many of us feel that the new CSL looks a little too much like an Aurora or TL for our tastes...

 

I like it a lot, Mercedes is showing BMW that they are the hotter cars to buy now "with even more power"

 

Bangle needs to dangle.

That said, in this case, I don't think the MB CLS is any better looking than the new 6 Series.

 

aren't sales up huge on the 7 series though.? I guess just because one person doesn't like it won't stop a zillion others from buying.... it is afterall... a BMW...woooohooooo.... it is hard to talk about how wonderfull you are if you drive anything but a bmw.?

I agree with everything Fanman said. And this year, 7-series sales are down, S-class sales up. S-class has passed the 7 in sales. Lexus LS430 sales are well down, but still ahead of the 7-series. I no longer even think about these cars (Z4, 5, 6, 7). To think that they're going to do this with the benchmark of them all, the 3-series, just makes me sad.
