That's enough to make me want to drive a station wagon. I love the CLS.

The first time I ever saw that car, I had to turn around and go back and just stare at it. It looks like a leopard or some other wild cat springing upon some unsuspecting prey. Wow! Waht a car.

Who designed the body? Anybody know?

Very nice!

I can't help but notice the CLS is dare I say Jaguar like. The interior and body curves scream Jag to me.

Thumbs down

D@mn, can you even fit your hand through that front window?

Americans would have to turn their McDonald's bags sideways to fit through it.

It looks cool, function is traded off for form in this case. Besides if one was so inclined the CLS's windows are plenty big enough for any drive through.

the narrow windows are similar to my magnum. they do take a bit of getting used to. for me the biggest problem is the blind spot caused by the mirrors being mounted so high. i have had to raise my seating postition to see over them.

i have had about five unsettling instances where i have found pedestrians or cars at intersections emerging from behind the mirror windsheild post blind spot.

I don't like wagons, but that's probably the best looking one I've ever seen. Doesn't look terribly practical. Though with a car that pricey I'd be afraid to haul anything and get it dirty

Well, there is currently a 500HP version of the CLS.
Now being a wagon would make it a 'family friendly car'.
So for fathers to win the case to buy one it needs to be fuel effiecent. And to satisfiy the mid-life crisis it needs to have power. Solution...make an AMG version of the V8 turbo diesel that is in the S-Class in Europe.
Can you say FAMILY THRUSTER.

CLS63 AMG wagon, for when the kids just need to get to school NOW!

Maybe Renntech could install a super charger and make it just a bit faster.

hate to burst your bubble guys but no wagon exists, thats a photoshop car. We've had the same picture floating around here for awhile now. Theres another one of a coupe, which looks a lot like the new CL and an odd SLK looking thing.
