Though I don't see nearly as many Z4's around as I used to see Z3's.

Same with Toyota, image sells over style/substance. That said, I like this rendering, but it appears to have put BMW's new side sculpting on the Merc...

I hate the CLS. The rear end looks so stupid. Seriously, one of our neighbor's has one and everytime I look at it I cringe.

They need to change the back on the refresh. Make it look less like a blob.

Apparently GM put the Aura on hold and gave it to Mercedes.

Ahhh...Benz Germanfied the Italian design.
Looks like a pig now. CLS is the hottest luxury car IMO.
I wish that Caddy grew a set and made the DTS a super-flashy 4dr sedan. STS and CTS can take up the traditional Caddy design.

Looks more aggressive than the current one. I'm not sold on the nose in this rendering, but if they stick to the same profile as the current one, this could be a VERY nice looking vehicle.
