See it here: CLS Shooting Brake Spied on the Ring

At least, we're calling it a shooting brake. It doesn't exactly fit the classic definition, but we'll forgive the sloping rear roof line and extra two doors. The wagon is almost completely un-robed with the exception of a strip of cladding obscuring the styling of the rear haunches. What. A. Tease.

Looks like a re-vamped W251.

Before I brought up the full sized picture of the side of the car I was instantly thinking looks kind of like a Panamera. After bringing up the full sized picture it almost looks like someone took the tail end of a CTS Wagon and slapped it on the back of a CLS. I kind of like it although I have a soft spot for wagons these days. Thought a four seater wagon really takes even more "advantags" away from being a wagon but I am just assuming it still will be a 4-seater car.

it probably drives well, but +1 on flattened R-class. i've tried to like the CLS(incl other cars like it), but frankly it's too difficult to get into the back seat - i keep hitting my head trying to get in it, and i wouldn't want to subject my guests to that. i think the e-wagon AMG is still the best way to "fly."

I had dismissed the CLS because of the backseat being completely unusable with me driving. Then though I looked at the 2012 when it came out and was surprised at how much bigger the backseat is in it v. the prior years. I still ultimately dismissed it for the backseat though because my wife decided that we need a car with a rear bench seat.
