The redesigned CLS features a larger grill, a more prominent front bumper, angular headlights, and LED daytime running lights. Perhaps the most interesting detail is the position of the third brake light. It is located in the bumper between the exhausts pipes.

Inside, the swanky interior has been axed and replaced with a more cost-friendly E-Class copy. This is a bit of a disappointment, but things could be worse.

Under the hood, engine options will mirror those offered in the E-Class. This means we can expect a variety of petrol and diesel units, including a 3.5-liter V6 and a 5.5-liter V8. More importantly, the CLS AMG could be introduced with the long-awaited twin-turbo V8 with at least 400 kW (544 hp). A hybrid version is also expected.

Look for the redesigned CLS-Class to be unveiled later this year, with sales starting in early 2011.

 

I like the new rear end

 

The 2011 CLS might be one of the first to tow the F800 Style design concept

 

yeah, but the front end isnt tht exciting

 

The headlights look almost 458-ish. I'll wait to judge it until I see it in production trim, but so far, the shape doesn't look quite as elegant as the previous CLS.

 

Definatley has AirAmatic Suspension from those pictures. Which I hate. Car looks like it has just as bad body roll as well.

But on the bright side allegedly it's supposed to have 4 Matic AWD as either an option or standard.

 

Damn, this looks like a fail with that huge front grill, looks like a CL!! IMO mercedes got it perfect with the first CLS, there is nothing better than this:










PS: Does anyone know if there is a setting or something in flickr that lowers the resolution? I uploaded these form my comp, and they were originally 1430x975, but they only show up as 1024x698 on flickr???

 

^^^ this model looks outdated...

 

yeah, it looks like a streched CL !!!!

 

+1 Definatley looks like it has a bad body roll !!
