    Also from the Mercedes Benz USA Office of Public Relations:


    Mercedes Benz USA is announcing a new marketing tagline. After many years of use, the current tagline of "Mercedes Benz: Unlike Any Other" is being updated to reflect our current offerings and to reinvigorate the blande...I mean, brand.


    Mercedes Benz: Poseurs Wanted


    We feel that with our new AMG appearance packages, the brand really is targeting a specific niche that needs to be reflected in our advertising. By spelling "Poseur" in that fancy way, we distinguish ourselves from the more plebian "Poser" used in the common street talk.

    These should be called AIG Sport packages. Look like they offer healthy performance from the outside but are really bloated, overly luxurious sanctuaries for the corporate nobs on the inside.

    Audi has S-line. Should BMW introduce the "M-eta" package?

    Am I the only one who thinks this is completely blandtastic compared to the W215?



    It looks light, even if it isn't. You can feel the weight in that one above. I think the C Class is the only current Benz they got right.

    @Syrax: I don't know, most of the recent roundeye Benzes seem a bit cartoonish. The new one looks considerably more Teutonic.

    @Syrax:


    I've always loved the CL-Class. I can't really pick a favorite from the W140, W215, and C216. Each is beautiful in its own way, at least to me.


    However, I feel the current CL-Class is best seen in person.

    @Syrax: Yep, you're the only one. W215 looks hedious in my humble opinion. This one not quite as chasirmatic but very clean and expensive looking. But as you mentioned nothing beats a W126.

    @cchannel: I think W215 is the best design of that age for Mercedes. Except maybe for the R230.

    @Syrax:

    I love the W215, especially the graceful pillarless arc of the roofline and the wispy-thin C-pillar bringing up the rear. As the owner of a W210, I think the bug-eye look has now become a funky classic styling cue.

    Here is the coupe version of the Posermobile. You see, this Poser is a different type of Poser from the S-class Poser. This Poser thinks that at the lights, he can beat all the regular AMGs in a drag race. He is disappointed when a GTi beats him because he was making eyes at the girl in the Jag next to him.
