Not another banana...

Ha ha Tycoon

But i have to admit that even though from the first moment I saw the current CLS thought that this is a banana, it has really grown on me, and i really appreciate its design! I could even call it a classic one!

I don't see anything, but banana... Unfortunately.

Check out the side mirrors are mounted on the door, and not into the window frame. That is one complaint about the CLS. You can't see the mirrors well because of the roofline.

LOL that reminds me of this picture that was posted on another forum long time ago

Yet the CLS looks better than most if not any BMW this side of the M3.

I to believe Huck is right on the money, right down to the taillight shape (even though thay are covered, the camo usually gives indication to the shape). I also believe he is right about the rear wheel arch. It`s designed just like the new E-Class except it bows down with the flow of the bootlid.

I pray he is right about the front because I really like his impression
a lot, far better than the current model! I pray it turns out this way!

The front (espicially the headlight design) on the current CLS is quit obviously it`s weakest issue..without the AMG kit.

I don't think some of the front details are going to be like that GTA, he already got the placement of the mirrors wrong as tennmb pointed out. I think we can expect more of a Concept Fascination type look for the front bumper with LEDs of course.

I believe most of the details are currect!
Huck is usually about 95-98% spot on with the basics. I mean look how close he was to the E-Class and this impression is more than a year old.

Sure, he`s not going to be spot 100% on.. I agree with you about the little details but I believe we can agree being this late with the CLS impression we have a good idea what it will look like!

Still don't like the new E at all. I'll be getting me a nice 08 or 09 W211 E350 4Matic in a year or so.

I think for a car like the E-class choosing a design is fairly constrained, most of the different sketchs will probably be fairly similar. While a car like the CLS I feel most of the designers are working with a clean slate and Huck just happened to stumble on one of them like he always does.

That's why I'm not holding my breath on the detailing too much, as that could change in a heart beat (err 2 years).

No 05' E55?

Don't think I want and added expensive of keeping up a monster like that (unless something changes by then) and I simply must have a facelifted model. Would have to be an E63 if I went the AMG route.

Hmmm, i`m not feeling that.. If you were talking about the new Gullwing or something along those lines I would happen to agree but the CLS is not a 3-4 folds different than the E-Class. Time will tell us though...

To MB:
Give me the car..

It seems to be exactly as the Huck´s PS, just a few details off like mirrors or the fact that the grille has to stips instead of one.

Looks pretty good to me.

re: 2011 Mercedes CLS (Spy shots & Info)

Wow and wow, looks like my dream is coming to reality!

The shape of the headlights, grill and bumper design falls right in line with hucks chop so far. I`m going to love this version of the CLS very much!!!

This is looks looks like it`s a little larger than the current model.
