So do you know any rumors, is this the upcoming mini cls based on the C-class or is it something based of a A/B-class car?

I'm interested because of the FWD/RWD difference in the platforms and i'm to lazy to check it out.

This is one of the three Mercedes cars that I saw at a market research event back in February. It looks good in person, but the model on display was falling apart

Mercedes loves making organic concepts. It's too much for my tastes, but I'm sure they'll tone the fascias and light down a notch for production. Still not warming up to this headlight-framing-grille-edges thing MB has going on.

Can someone explain me what is the CL model for? I just saw that on the M-B site and I think it is useless no? The CL65 AMG is fricking 243k. That is stupid. and the CLS63 is like 109k. Is the CL the CLS "coupe"?

I like it.. but something about it just screams FWD. Just like that new Buick Regal GS2.0... looks great but the stance isn't quite right.
