i read this very interesting article in the german "Auto-Bild" on friday but couldn´t manage to scan the pictures. but found some on mbspy:

in my opinion the CLE-class is a very beautiful car, like the new interpretation of the "4-eyes face" so called in germany !

 

WHAT THE HECK, why does Mercedes need this car?!?!, i mean it looks nice but Mercedes does not need it.

MusFather, you are right. But it is all just about marketing. Nice car, the mid rear looks a little odd to me, right at the rear window.

 

Yea man i agree, it does look really weird, the back is nice though

i'd like to see this car on the road, the back looks pretty nice, and i'm sure they make up the front too. is it a contender of the 6series?

also, is PS equal to HP? because when i read the engine specs, they said the 500 model has 325PS, but should this only have 302Hp?

-CLE 300 DI V6, 231 PS/ 300 Nm
-CLE 350 DI V6, 258 PS/ 350 Nm
-CLE 500 DI V8, 326 PS/450 Nm
-CLE 320 CDI, 204 PS/ 500 Nm
-CLE 400 CDI, 250 PS/ 560 Nm

I don't believe the rear doors open like that! Because no one would be that small to get in at the back doors! Maybe they will be opend the other side around...?


Well, of course these pics are computer graphics - not photos!

 

PS is HP (I think). So I guess as this is a 2004 model (in Germany) it must mean that the 5 Litre V8 must have direct injection.

 

I think that car looks pretty cool..even if they are comp generated... hope it comes out...

 

Yes, that's correct.
HP (Horse Power) is the same as PS (Pferdestärke)!

 

PS = Pferdestärke
HP = Horse Power
CF = Caballos de Fuerza
