Resurrected from the dead? The new 07 MB CL looks like the Lincoln Mark VIII

When I first saw pics of the new 2007 Mercedes Benz CL coupe, I thought it looked awfully like the defunct Lincoln Mark VIII. Even if it doesn't, I don't think the new MB CL is a particularly inspired looking vehicle especially with those wretched spoke rims.

What do you think?

Very sedate, looks like traffic. Sort of like you don't want to be noticed or stand out - looks perfect for a mid-level, accounting and finance, computer and office sort of person who doesn't want to be accused of anything. Perfect for 30-50 years old, drives freeways in crowded citys - sort of a vehicle equal to the old grey-flannel-suit. Brief case on wheels. Does it have luxury inside?
