Best looking Benz to date imo, AMG costs about the same as an E55 for a much better car.

to me the sl is the best looking far, followed by the e class and then the cls but yeah, the cls is pretty much a e class, so cls55 being about the same price that makes sense

In terms of exterior looks of MB models, I prefer SL > E > S > CL > CLK > CLS > SLK.

In other words, the CLS doesn't do much for me. The interior looks quite plush though.

Lambo doors? Depending on whom you ask, they can also be called gullwing doors, which are properly MB.

Maybe not the classic ones, but how about the new ones?
