From what I've seen i like the older generation better, but i'll reserve my final judgment until I've seen better photos.

Totally agree. The older design is much better.

Sweet Hyundai Sonata. We need an RMR (Rhys Millen Racing) Spec with 3.8 L V6 Turbo that pumps out 485 HP.

Hyundai Sonata RMR VS Mercedes-CLS, I can see that.

485HP V6 on a FWD car that was design to house a 4 cyl ?
Ever heard of torque steer, weight distribution ?

Yeah, YOU can see it, only you...

Hyundai Sonata w/cheap body kit VS Mitsubishi Gallant "ralliart", I can see that.

What is this fascination with an Asian rental-car brand? Nobody actually owns one of those cars....

It's hard to improve on an already amazing design.

Nice tail lights but the 2011 M56 wants them back.

So they decided to make a 5 door E-class? The new design is not as "CLS" as it should be.

it's an artists depiction of what the car might look like, so reserve your judgements until mercedes actually show official photos, not some magazine that thinks they have the first scoop.

I FUC-ING LOVE TORQUE STEER!!!!!!!!!!!!

MSP6 we have different tastes in cars. You like Sport Sedans with 120 Billion HP in a car the size of a Hyundai Accent, and I actually like the Practicallity of a car that size. Plus it can be tuned to produce an ample amount of power, without resorting to overkill.

You can Drift with FWD, its just most people are too lazy to do it, or they did not know it can be done.

Torque steer isn't and will never be cool why would you want to fight to get a car to go where you want it? Why don't you keep your seat slider unlocked while you are at it... that way when you step on the gas you have to pull yourself forward and when you hit the brakes you have to hold yourself back.

No I don't like billions HPs

I like a balanced chassis with a decent power output in a decent family car format. BMW 3er is a car of choice but a little bit expensive. But still, a Sonata will never be an option.

I will never buy a rental car with no resale value.

Since I'm not rich enough to own a bimmer, I'll go for an GLI jetta for my next car. I don't want to lease again, I want to buy and keep the car for at least 4 years.

i dont like the artists interpretation. when the cls was first released, as i was admiring the styling i thought to myself "how the hell will they improve on this for the next generation?". the only thing i dont like on the current cls is the headlights.

they created a bold and beautiful design. the target was set so high, its almost impossible for them to improve it.

My last car had torque steer, for the most part I ignored it but never once did I find it amusing. My current fwd car was thankfully designed well enough to get rid of 95% of it.

FWD Torque steer is as animalistic as a CLS Drifting. Except with FWD you can be as animalistic wtih 80% of the cars on the road. As opposed to that whole, (the Few, the power, the Brave.

FWD Torque steer when you have a badly built vehicle is horrid.

A well built vehicle only gets FWD Torque Steer when you power slide and drift.

If you want to get technical about it Good FWD Torque Steer is FWD Power Steer.
