The new front of the CLS Shark II provides for sportiness and individuality. After the CLS Shark I provided plenty of sensation in the tuning scene, Asma felt compelled to expand on the concept.

With this new aerodynamic package the Asma CLS Shark II achieves a high level of sportiness.

The new front, with an extended grill, adjusted to the aggressive body kit transforms the Asma CLS Shark II into a real eye catcher. As if by the hand of Picasso, the air intakes in the tail as well as the extended bumper lend to the Asma CLS Shark II an individual shape in its entirety.

The perfection of the Asma CLS Shark II climaxes with the Asma Design rim 1! Edited November 30, 2005 by HarleyEarl

:puke: Oh man, tell me they're not serious. I don't like the CLS to begin with, but they beat this design with the ugly stick.

[Flybrian]

That's disgusting.

[balthazar]

God-awful: grille, slots, grille, askew logos, grille and rims. And grille. Not to mention the base car they started with.

Grille remind anyone else of this?:

[Flybrian]

No, Balthy, more like...

the_yellow_dart: my sentiments exactly! balthazar: YES!

That grille is horrible...I like everything else though.

[HarleyEarl]

There is sure a trend with deep low down grills on German cars. This is getting a bit whacky. Or is it stunning and our untrained eyes just can't see the wonderment yet?

Nope; that's not it.

I love deep dish rims...I think it looks great and the style suits an MB very well...the euro trend though is to put narrower tires than what would normally come on the rim, in turn, stretching the sidewalls to make the lip of the rim really stick out, which is alright I guess, but I'd much rather have wider tires... edit: oops Harly, when you mentioned deep grills I misread and saw rims...nevermind :P Edited November 30, 2005 by Nick

Isn't there something wrong with calling this "sporty" car the As(th)ma?

...the euro trend though is to put narrower tires than what would normally come on the rim, in turn, stretching the sidewalls to make the lip of the rim really stick out, which is alright I guess...

It's alright if you enjoy horrifically dangerous transportation. Too wide of a rim for a given tire puts a lot of strain on the bead & the sealing of the tire, esp in cornering. Real innovative of those europeans to reintroduce the blowout as a 'in thing' again.

Blah... there are more eyesores, bedsores, and scabs on this than an Aztek. And what is up with that grille? Someone tell Ass-Mar to put the snowplow on the snowplow truck, not the CLS.

Pathedic. The Chinese could design a better body kit. Edited December 1, 2005 by anorexorcist

Sucks to your ASMA.

*passes around the "german is best" koolaid" Ooooh... ahhh.... TEH BEST DEZING EVAR!!!!!#$!!!

[NOS2006]

Any better?

[KaliRover]

That has to be the sickest car I've see this year, I thought the Civic Si and the red Fusion from the SEMA show looked good..., well that sport tuned Audi SUV was pretty cool, but this thing is just crazy sick... except for the rim's, those are so ugly... Oh well.

I expect a settlement check from DCX for all the trauma taht caused to my eyes and brain. It will take months of therapy to erase that hideous image from my brain. :puke: Edited December 2, 2005 by Sixty8panther

ROFL took me a minute to remember that. I thionk the CLS is a bit piggy looking anyways, so the comment is that much better. having seen roundabout 8 or so in person....
I still friggin hate it. they took everything I liked about MB design (stateliness, refined look, attractive styling) and tossed it out the window.

Well, I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who has -ahem!- been forced to sit shackled to the electric chair and read that book.

("Lord of the Flies." No, not "Lord of the Rings" to the mental cases out there. I don't think a hobbit has talked to a pig's decaying head on a stick... unless he's like me and doing lots of speed.)
