I'll just say his: the new/current one doesn't look good at all, except the side profile. Front looks very boring and dull, the same goes for rear.

For me, current FL SL and previous CL are the nicest MBs ever made. The previous CL looks 100000000000000000 times better than this one, IMO of course.

It looks a lot better in real life. It's just not photogenic.

I say it looks dull but the AMG is a different story..

Wow!! I absolutely aggree with you! I'm still in love with the W215!! This car was and is absolutely great. This is one of those cars with absolutely timeless design - they will always look great!!

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

imo its a damn good looking car..
but its in desperate need of an AMG package..
with that it transforms to one of the hottest coupes on the market..

This car looks quite slick when you see it IRL.
But of course the AMG looks amazing but it wouldn't if
the body/"base" it was made upon looked like crapy it just woudn't...

*Remeber you can always go for a much nicer color, aftermarket rims and
the AMG-kit!


I adore this car and I know I always will!

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

Despite the previous CL showing its age now, it is still one of my favorite Benzes of all time.

The current CL rear has yet to grow on me. I am not a big fan of the taillights, though with the AMG package it looks a lot better.

Overall it is a classy looking car, but a little boring without the AMG, but with the AMG it looks stunning.

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

I love it the way it is.

In AMG it doesn't look better, it looks completely different, way meaner and sportier. In standard, it way classier, much more elegant.

I prefer it standard. And i already saw both IRL.

Of course, a grey CL with small rims, suspensions settings to "high" and a weird pic angle won't look as good as a perfectly shot black AMG CL with 20". But take a standard CL with a dark colour, the right 18" or 19", and you have a superb vehicle.

The old CL still looks superb, but I prefer the new one (especially the C126-like front).

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

I agree - I love it in AMG trim, but the standard (esp. front) bumbers are old fashioned and boring..

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

The previous CL was one of the classiest designs ever.

The new one is a little bloated, IMO. It looks good in the sport edition. The standard front bumper is very dull, and lacks any design creativity. And it shows on the used market. It is very hard to move one unless it has the sport package.

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

Guess most of us agree in standard trim,the CL LOOks.....DULL...The poinbt is, why spend soo muc money and then rely on an AMG Pack or after market rims...Merc should have taken more time and made the car look good standard,like hw they did the S Class..

IMHO The CL Standard is the ugliest looking vehicle in the Line up..(OOps,,, I 4got the R, The CL is the 2nd Ugliest)

The car truly comes alive in AMG Form..It looks breathtaking...

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

I think it has to do alot with the rims,without the AMG cladding but with nice set of 19 or 20 aftermarket rims and the car is massively nice looking and of course it looks off the charts with the AMG guise

Well how else do you expect it to look in its most bland combination of silver exterior and basic 17 inch rims. I love the car with and without AMG kit like with ever car it come down to rims and colour. Go see your local MB dealer.

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

I have said it from the first time i have seen the official pics: The standard car is a failure, especially for the side profile who make the car look like a big piece of cheese that has melted. The AMG improves it dramaticaly but that's far from being enough, the previous car was on a whole other level , it was the epitome of the timeless elegant design.

Re: Who elsethinks the Standard CL looks soo Boring and dull

The previous CL, I believe, was Bruno Sacco's last design.

The current on isn't a failure. It will be interesting to see how the facelift addresses some of its issues.
