Yes lose the rear wing and the white wheels. Sorry but white wheels dont belong on upper end German cars VW is the only german car that can get away with with wheels.

Yeah, get rid of the hideous wing for sure. It makes it look like a teenager's Toyota.

I don't like the raked look. I don't think anything can be done about that, though.

Otherwise, I'll take two.

I am not a fan of lovered grills or wings. The modified peanut head lights and new tail lamp housings are very cool. It looks like a CLS that went to the monster garage.

I've never sat in one of those. Is it dark inside? The windows seem unsually small. I wonder if a claustrophobic person would feel comfortable in one?

Without the wing, the car would look great

Try an SLK. If you have seat up too high you'll hit your head.

That darn wing looks so out of place. And them wheels throws off the whole look. This car is too elegant for them wheels. Like having a customized sports outfit that cost thousands of dollars and wearing a pair of Wal-Mart shoes with it. But over all, and I say OVERALL the car looks nice. Kinda look like the CLK DTM. Never know, Mercedes might just make a CLS DTM. But that grill looks lke it belongs on a Neon. It's so generic looking. He/she was better off with the stock one.

That happens to me in any car with power seats, even my truck. I know it's worse in an SLK or similar low-profile car... like my Corvette. I feel like my butt is about to scrape the road in my Corvette because you sit "inside" the frame and I have the seat as low as it will go. I hate my elbow to be above my eye level if I stick it out an open window, though. It kinda blocks my view.

As for the darkness and claustrophobic factors, a glass roof really helps... as long as it can be shaded on hot sunny days.

I agree with mbz300sdl. Wing has to go and paint the wheels black.
