I love the star mounted on the grill like the new S.. Looks like that it is how it will be from now on...

The grill is also very pointy.

WAIT just noticed something! There is a stalk on the right side of the steering wheel! MB doesn't usually have that! What could that be for????

Why can't I find any press pictures of the pre-F/L W211 on GCF? Are they deleted from the server after a certain amount of time?

Not that it couldn't be done, I just doubt we will see that in the W211. It would probably be an expensive prospect to retrofit.

well the facelifted SL never got it...
i am still half surprised the new G had no command controller...its not out for a few more months.....they should have made it just like the S inside i think....hopefully if will get it at the facelift but then it could like the column shifter in the E and SL and too expensive to do? may be i dunno lol

Smoked rear lights look nice! Mirrors look weird to me, but the bigger and longer chrome strip on the trunk is quite nice.

It looks like there is some chrome behind the door handles, I wonder if that is now standard or something....

They're not smoiked. It's the lighting.

I didn't mean the whole tailight was smoked, just the center white part like on the CLK 500 as opposed to the 350.

The other wierd thing is, that if you look at the interior the headlight switch, sits on a black panel. Maybe it's just preproduction and they didn't have it interior colored...

I can't stand this when some pics leak out that show just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat....lol!!!! Is that the CLS' steering wheel I see? Hopefully they've adopted some of the CLS' other quality interior bits and re-tuned the ride/handling mix, especially on the new E500/550.

That official press release is probably just a few days away!!!
