Well in his defense, that design was first displayed at the LA auto show in 2004. So it IS 3 years old I guess if you count 2007 as a year.

I would guess 2009 would be a year for an update. I really hope the fix the blind spots.

Probably one or two years after the new E comes out...which will probably be in one or two years.....so 2-4 years IMO. But you never know, this bodaystyle is very extreme, the only reason it would change is because it is based on the E.

Are you looking into buying one?

I'd say the CLS will get a facelift for either 2008 or 2009 and a replacement for 2010 or 2011.

Buy a CLS

I have a SL 550 and love it but I need a sedan also. LOVE look of CLS. S is not really in budget. So I looking at CLS (European Delivery) or maybe E. I have even considered BMW 5 or Audi A6. (I guess mentioning those cars is considered profanity onn this sight)
I bought an Acura RL for all the goodies but it is not same a German car.
Why can't the German cars offer the techno stuff you can get on Japanese cars?
I am going to Detroit Auto Show in Jan and Frankfurt in Sept.

I thought the blind spot was going to be a big problem but it took me literally 2 days to get used to it.
The backup cam would be cool but you can get ANY shop to add that these days to your comand screen for a few hundred dollars which is probably a LOT less than MB would charge if they got the option.
