looks pretty nice to me. i hope it keeps the double barrelled headlights of the current one.

"Engine offerings are expected to include a new 480-hp direction-injection 5.5-liter V-8 for the new CL550, with the CL600 equipped with the current 5.5-liter V-12 twin-turbo. The AMG version will be powered by a normally aspirated 500-hp 6.3-liter V-8."

I'm really curious to know how fuel efficient that direct injection engine is. sounds pretty cool.

The current CL is handsome to boot, but absurdly underpowered for a $100K vehicle. It's nice to see MB recognizes this and is giving the base model nearly 180 more horses.
