I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the point of this thing is. As much as they call it a coupe, it seems to me like it's a chop-top sedan. The proportions suggest the exterior dimensions will be as big as an S-Class but the interior will be less roomy than an E-Class.
Maybe now that Jaguar has made the XJ roomy, Mercedes decided to steal the formula for the old one?

Name one mass production car manufacturer that uses real wood trim.
BMW, audi, vw, mb, ford, jag, lexus, acura etc. It's all plastic. The only one that I can think of that might use real wood is Bentley and probably RR.

yeah, i know, but my point is that CLS has too much fake wood, sorta like 1980 buicks and town cars had. even if it was real it'd still look like ass.

You've got to be kidding me. Even my old '90 Legend had real wood trim. You don't need to buy a freakin Rolls or Maybach or something to get real wood on the dash.

perhaps it did back then. but have you taken it apart to check? I'll be willing to bet that it's wasn't real and for sure it is not real now (in the current line up)

Ugly, Droopy ass, weird headlights. Hate it. Although I have not really cared for any Benz since they started using that double headlight look on the E. So maybe my opinion does not count hehe
