First Official pictures
The success of the uniquely designed first CLS has seen a host of copycat machines from rival manufacturers. These include Porsche's Panamera and the upcoming Audi A7 Sportback, plus fastback versions of regular saloons such as the Volkswagen Passat CC.
They have all adopted the curving, sweeping shape of the old CLS - but the new model is upping the stakes. Its striking design has evolved to include styling cues from Mercedes' latest concepts - such as the Shooting Break estate - with a more sculpted,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], athletic look to replace the cleaner shape of the original car.
The pronounced panel creases plus flared arches and sills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], combined with the angular new front end, make the CLS seem lower and wider than the previous model - and hint at the shape of the SLS AMG supercar.
Triple-layered LED headlights house 71 separate diodes and provide everything from the indicators to full-beam illumination - which Mercedes is claiming is a production car first,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. An additional row of daytime running lamps completes the dazzling effect.
The tail is heavily inspired by the Shooting Break concept that wowed crowds at this year's Beijing Motor Show. Its large, leaf- shaped rear lights and polished metal strip give an extra touch of class to the high-shouldered, muscle car-style back end.
There will be a wide engine line-up to choose from when the car hits showrooms in January next year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including a 261bhp 3.5-litre V6 diesel, and V6 and V8 petrols with 302bhp and 435bhp respectively.
But the big news is the introduction in March of a four-cylinder oil-burner - a first for the CLS. Producing 204bhp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it will help lower the overall carbon emissions of the entire range.
Although pictures of the cabin haven't yet been released, it will remain a strict four-seater by keeping the spacious 2+2 layout from before, with a wide centre storage console separating the leather back seats.
The dash will feature the usual wood and hide, but details such as the air vents and steering wheel will be picked out with gloss metal inserts. All these changes are designed to move the CLS further away from its less prestigious impersonators, and re-establish Mercedes' reputation for unrivalled build quality and luxurious performance cars.
I think someone is trying a little too hard with the styling. OK, so it's a modern trend, but this should be above fashion.
The basic shape and proportions are great; it's the messiness that lets it down. It's a monster. Try this: in image 3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], put your hand over the exhaust/diffuser 'module' under the rear bumper. Much nicer. Likewise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], take one of those sweeping creases off the side, either the one originating over the front wheel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or the one on the rear wing. Again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], simpler,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nicer. At the moment, the rear door is a mess. Three creases. If the rising crease from behind the rear wheel flowed over the rear wing and the sweeping front one disappeared altogher: a lot better. It's as if the designer didn't erase his rejected ideas properly and they all got included in the final product.
I know we're looking at projection of power here, but if you've really got power and class, you don't have to shout about it.
Note to Mercedes: Less is almost always more.
I'm not usually a fan of German car design,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to austere, angular and generally bland. However I really like this, I think it bucks the trend and says if you don't like me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tough, I'm different! And it is, who wants your usual safely styled boring Eurobox. They all copy each other and little to choose between each other. This will look even better out on the road.
One failing though is the bloody bland Germanic interior. Have a look at the latest Jaguars to see how blending different materials gets you a sharp modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cool,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet still luxurious interior.
You could stick and Audi or BWM badge on the steering wheel then sit some one blindfolded in the drivers seat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], remove the blindfold and they'd be none the wiser.
