Nice, but, ummmm, it looks a lil busy. There's allot of slits & gills and the sort, but nice car, though.

I really like the cls and my wife likes it even more...she swoons everytime she sees one. I am having a hard time talikng her out of wanting one.
I am very much against calling this car a coupe though. I think it's rediculous to do so. At least shave the door handles on the rear but four door access is by definition a sedan. The side gills on this model seem out of place but I'm sure someone will buy it.

I don't see any GS in it

looks good, the side gills may be a little much and the front license plate throws it off, but overall the new cls has really grown on me.

Think this would be one of those cars that looks ok on a monitor but would look amazing in person.

It is a chop. Wald usually does chops of their upcoming kits before they actually produce and fit them onto their demo cars.
