This looks like it maybe it..... what do you guys think?

jikjak

yup thats it.
i saw it in downtown vancouver a couple of weeks ago.
they were doing a photoshoot or commercial for it and were trying to keep it hidden.
i was prevented from taking pictures of course.

I can't wait to see the AMG version

jikjak

me too!!!! hehehe

chiromikey

ok...the thought of that new cls combined with an amg tt motor just stopped me from persuing a used sl65 or a new ctsv!

MB_Forever

LOL... it does seem very tempting But I'm not sure I would let the SL65 go though because that V12 BiTurbo engine has so much potential

chiromikey

i agree but the v12 is the only reason i wanted it...i've never been a fan of the look of an sl (except the sl65 bs of course).

I think they made a big design mistake using those W212 Ponton rear haunches on this car. It looks too weird, imho. And then there's those Nissan Maxima style tail lights.... MBs are becoming Japanese.

what happened to my flowing lines....
what is up with the rear arch and tail lights...not sure if they are better then the upgrade LED ones on 2009

jikjak

how about the v12 TT in the current cls body? hehe
thats my dream!

Zod

naa the SL65 blk is the dream!!!
an other would be an AMG modified cls with the v12 from the blk and the upgraded inter coolers from brabus ho ho ho

Looks good from the front, but those side shot is a failure.

Ugly wheels and tires hardly match the design, which itself is simply plain from the side view. The gap between the tire and fender lip is huge. Maybe they should let the public see it so they can get some constructive criticism.

+1 - front looks like an Accord, rear looks like a Maxima. The original was a classic and I think they totally F***ed this up. . . just like the 212

mikeevo

does this guy have it raised up or what , doesnt look that good from the side at all.

front not to bad.

I really liked the rear arch on the S-Class, but I didn't like it on the E, and it's nothing less than a crime on the CLS.


:terrible

Gotta admit that I wasn't diggin the silver shots but when I saw this red one last night, I couldn't resist. I really like it.

Lowered with the AMG package and tt's. Gonna be amazing.

Just my 2 rapidly deflating Euro on it.

the front grille looks too broad and squared off standing upright like that...the rear hmmm dunno...I like the current CLS but this new one not sure about...still the SL R230 body is one of my favs...I also like the S, CL, and CLS

bjr7141

Is it going to still be built on the e class platform???

idk, the first CLS, felt like it started a wave of cars similar to it, and now the market is somewhat flooded

bjr7141

maxima, did someone say maxima?

just showed it to my pops who has a 06 CLS 5oo

he said "looks like s high class maxima" very funny ... odds are he will end up in a brand new one ... new country mercedes has their hooks in him for 20 yrs now

Jakpro1

It's funny seeing this all over again.

Here's a flashback to 2003 when the current CLS spy shots were coming out. Now it's the "god of all models"
