S-Class (W221/C216) CL-Class Facelift (Spy Photos & info)

[HighestOfHigh]

Nice shot of the headlights! Looking better and better!

Jeez..it's getting really boring just waiting for the unveil, knowing what this car already looks like.

Watch when it comes out you will probably run around CA screaming in shock when it comes out.

No doubt that it will look stunning, but shocking? C'mon. It's hardly shocking knowing that the upgrades on this car (visually at least) are the same as the S-class.

I like the pointier nose..
It will give it a agressive face compared to the very rounded numb looking face a normal spec CL has today..

I'm telling you, they have something special planned that is going to blow your socks off. You might even quit school when the announcement is made. It's just that mind blowing. Lol

 

[Shining Star]

This is being unveiled at Detroit, no? If it's not...it's a long boring wait until Geneva...

The only way I'll quite school is if someone gives me a a couple million dollars...but even then, I probably wouldn't quit school.

I need school to become the billionaire I need to be.

Looks like they have changed the place of the rear drive indicator.

Good eye! So what do you think, big tailights ala E or B-Class instead of the triangular ones, or just some reverse lights around the number plate (unheard of for an MB)?
I'm for the big lights, that would completely change the rear and explain why they are changing the shape of the boot.

I'm fine with the current tail light design;I am certain that a bit of a refresh, like the addition LED lights arranged to create a new and attractive pattern, would be more than enough.

You could be right about the big tail lights, but I must say that in this case the result might be very bulky, unbalaced and totally non-premium. Though it's new and also strange for a Mercedes to have the rear drive lights around the licence plate, I think this is the way the S-Klasse Coupe has approached.

From what I see, its true the car looks pretty much ready to be unveiled, but I believe there is alot more hidden in those headlamps, looks like the LEDs will add alot of aggression, and the best of it is in the upper corner..

Looks like only the AMG (and/or Sports) versions are getting the new tail light treatment.
Interesting. I'm curious to see how it's going to look cos this is unprecedented.

I have always thought the weakest part of this car were the tailghts, this should be interesting to see.

But this is the standard version, not an AMG Sportpaket one. You can see this, at the rear, by looking at the diffuser, which on an AMG Sportpaket car, is black.

Standard model

I am aware of that but they usually do not put the AMG trimmings on till the camo comes off. The wheels are usually the giveaway, but since 4matic is standard and the wheels are not staggered, they can trick us there too BUT clearly, there are 2 separate trims driving around, 1 with all red S-class style tail lights and the other.

looks like an infiniti

I think the tail-lights will be seperated into two portions' one around the licence plate ala Bentley , but more discrete.

 

[NarutoRamen]

I actually like this.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

I actually vomited a bit in my mouth after seeing that.

Shouldn't this thing be out already?

Yep, looks like an Infiniti, which is VERY, VERY BAD:


If Mercedes-Benz applies such a cruel visual treatment to the elegant CL, they will simply ruin it.

I pray for a better outcome!

P.S.:m-power's version is way more desirable than any other stupid one.
