Anyone who thinks any 5 series (including the new one) is ugly should be labelled blind.

And then crazy.

Yeah but you drive a 306 ;-)


Yes - we all know I drive a supposedly ugly car so let's not dwell on it

PU, I have real envy. This twin turbo is a winner. Is there any other set of wheels with the ability on the one hand to h - u - r - l you down the road, yet with such frugality?

I have a CLK320CDi that delivers stunning performance (0-60 in under 7s) and great economy (37+ mpg on country roads).

The 535d has it beaten for outright performance but I imagine the Merc is more economic.
