So, will or will there not be a CLE 63S?

The industry rumor mills suggest that yes, a V8 CLE63 is coming:

Those poor - very few, evidently - bastids who bought the W206 C63 AMG. They're going to take a bath in residuals. I wonder how Mercedes will compensate them come trade-in time.

They won't have to worry about that too much, given how few people actually bought them.

They might just rebadge it as a C190 2.0 E-performance or something and clear stock at a lower price.

Indeed it looks nice and sporty with big 21 inch wheels but its not a luxury coupe, just like a 4 series A5 and nothing more.

Seen a few now.. not a good looker. Hopefully the 53/63 with the added aggression will offset the poor design.

I actually think it looks great in real life, just not sporty.

That one's got the hybrid flap so it must be the turbo-4

If you look at the third picture you can see the outline of the PHEV charging flap.

Of course you can't hear it taking off, that would prove what it has under the bonnet.

If only the camera man was closer...

Looking closely, do I see a hint of a rear charging flap?

This might be a 4cyl? Unless they're planning for it to be a V8 hybrid...?

Yep there is one. Maybe the cylinder stays here. I can’t see this being a V8 hybrid at this level.

Genuinely good looking. And they appear to be becoming increasingly popular in my particular region.
