Worst of both worlds.
The CL's front end is the worst looking part of that model, & the S-Class rear end is the fugliest part of the car.

AGreed 100000000000000X . That CL front end reminds me of Tyra's "big forehead" Banks.
(backend of the cl is ugly also)

I remember cecwheels.com used to have the old w220 S class with the w215 front end conversion also. Looks much better than this abomination
