+1 looks very, very good. A mix between the CLS, the new SLS and the sides of the new E-Class coupe.

The new E-Class has a very timeless front end, but something about the rear needs to change a little.

It was funny watching the valets drool over the Panamera which was drove in by an elderly woman at the Breakers this weekend. I didn't like it, seemed forced and chunky. It got more attention than the Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Maserati's and the rest of the high end cars.

Some valets took my car for a joyride once.

I could tell because the air conditioning was on full blast for some reason.

I had one as a loaner a month or so back. The interior looks like a toyota's. The dash is very ugly compared with the W211's.

What if they just thought your car was too hot while they drove it to the parking lot?

This is the first picture I have seen of the new CLS - I like it. The Aston leaves me feeling a bit underwhelmed and longing for the Maser instead.

The new CLS looks like it's going to be a great improvement on the current one, IMO.

Maybe with next week's paycheck I will buy one. What a fantastically beautiful car.

I like literally everything...except the fuel cap. It just seems like it was slapped on as an afterthought.

Eye surgery. If by unique purpose you mean taking kids to independent school then maybe.

+1 on the fuel cap, otherwise I think everything is perfect on this car. The glass roof looks great.
