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.

If it's built like they were in the 80's , there won't be an issue.

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