Talking New pic of CLS!!!

http://germancarfans.zeroforum.com/z...id=4070&page=6

I found this pic of a CLS that I've never seen before on the germancarfans website posted by HUSSEINDESIGN! I think this design looks perfect for the CLS! If this is THE car then I would love to have one........or two!! I also wonder if this the car we'll see at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September?! I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Just thought you guys might like it!

it looks ok to me. for some reason it remids me of a 300M, and for some reason, a stratus poped into my mind

Well according to Autospies the tail end is supposed to resemble the 300M. Otherwise I think it is a beautifully designed automobile IMO! I guess we'll just have to wait and see the concept version next month!

I thought the two tone job was beautiful. Too bad they did not make it.

And to everyone else I hope you're looking at the right picture because there are lotz of pics of the possible CLS in that thread! I would post the pic I'm talking about here, but for some reason it would let me paste the pic after I copied it! I just hope it won't be a disappointment when we see the concept version next month!

I've seen other pics somewhere else that looked really nice (E500 with a fastback), so there may be several different prototypes floating around - or someone is fooling us all with photoshop.

HUSSIENGESIGN is famous for photoshops, but the new pic he posted of the CLS on page 6 of the thread is on the cover of the Auto Zietung magazine!

Well I'm sure like the rest of the prototypes out there it is not the final version. Although when I look at it I see more E-class styling more than anything. I also think that is the best prototype I've seen of the CLS and not even photoshops looked as good as that!

CLE was the original name of the upcoming MB 4-door coupe and CLS is the actual name!

What is the point of CLS, isn't the E class enough for this category of car?

I thought the 6-series was supposed to compete with the MB CL-class coupe!? If it's competeing with the CLS then the 6 with leave it in the dust when they come out with the cabriolet version and the CL! I just don't see how MB could produce a CLS cabriolet with 4 doors???!!!
