New CL shots

yeah I know everyone's seen the new CL, but MBUSA posted these new shots and I think they're hot.

 

 

If only they had that dashboard-console thing worked out better...

Re: New CL shots

I think the dashboard console of the CL flows nicer than that of the S.

RE: New CL shots

It does, definitely, but it's still crappy compared to an E or CLS or even a Lexus...

 MB needs to work it out better.

Does it have a column or floor shifter?

Column. They all eventually have column shifters, I think.

RE: New CL shots

'They' being what ?  All future MB's?

When you consider that supercars (and some less-than-supercars)
all have steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters now, it just might happen.

I hate columun shifters. I hope they don't do away with floor shifters in the future E classes.

Re: New CL shots

I think it's likely though. I really hated it at first, because I like resting my arm(hand) on the shifter, and it just looks right.

But after a while, I got used to it. It won't be the same though.

Same thing here. When I have my hand on the floor shifter, It makes me feel like, I have more control of the car or something.

I saw one of these things on the road today. These are awesome looking machines.
