CLS is, of course, a coupe albeit one with 4 doors. That is what the C stands for: coupe; the L is for Luxus (maybe Lang); and the S is for Sports.

I think it is more accurate to state that the hood ornament is reserved for sedans (saloons) and limousines. All others have the grille badge (trucks, busses, off-roaders, sports cars and utility vehicles).
