Title: CLS Junior on the way...
Post by: rdfcpete on April 21, 2012, 11:48:43 am

Mercedes starting to push the appeal to the below 55's?  :laugh:

I can't stand the CLS, both the first gen and the facelift but this thing looks alright and won't be as long as an aircraft carrier.
If it's got a decent chassis, should be quite good.

It's a saloon car... and last time I checked 2 door saloon cars didn't appeal to many people...

i hate cars with an arse end as low as the front so if they haven't sorted that out i still won't like this new one despite the more aggressive looking front design Mercedes are sticking on all their next gen cars.

Thought it was meant to be a coupe.

I haven't ever understood the CLS, until I got to do some work of a couple recently.

This one I could live with just for the engine  :love: :love:

Even with lots of CF on the inside it still feel a bit tore targeted to the older generations.

I love the current CLS. Amazing interior, as pictured above, and proper old fashioned Merc build quality.

Looks pretty hot, gotta' concede...
Would've been fun with 340hp and RWD instead perhaps?
