Spy Shots: Next-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS
by Jonathon Ramsey on Dec 29th 2008 at 5:58PM 
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS is undergoing testing, and as is true with so many segment-defining vehicles, there doesn't look to be much of a change going on up top. However, down below, in the area covered by cladding, we will probably see some noticeable tweaks and refinements as the original "four-door coupe" moves from the current E-Class to the new E-Class platform (it will not be built on the S-Class platform). As for engines, in addition to gas and (in Europe) diesel options, it will be offered with the BlueHybrid drivetrain from the S400.In the mean time, for 2009, the CLS gets revised front and rear, a new grille, larger outside mirrors, and LEDs in the tail-lamp clusters. Inside, a new steering wheel complements the reworked interior and a next-generation COMAND system.

Hope it looks as good as the current one.

From the front, it kinda looks like the new Maxima save for the headlights (obviously).
I loved the first gen CLS, and with the beautiful designs Mercedes is putting out these days, I'm excited to see how this will follow up.

Looks good. As long as they do something about that cliffhanger of a front end on these pictures, I can tell that I'll love it
