Dont like this at all. Why not just go for a C63 or E63 touring? It looks ugly. I also hate the chrome trim MB running the full length of the car and bumpers.

I just think these days there are too many models that overlap. Still at least its not as bad as BMW: X1/X3/X4/X5/X6, 3GT/4GT/5GT...no doubt the list will grow longer lol.

It's not an SUV, therefore it is awesome. This means we won't get it in the USA, instead we'll get another stupid ML63 or similar.

Edit - I had to think this through, and after much thought, an M5 GT would still be terrible, but less terrible than an X6M, so my theory stands.

Oh my god. What the fuck is this shit.

Great, Merc has created yet another niche in the market.

az34 · 03-17-2012, 02:03 PM

so far i am not impressed, as for many merc's i'll wait to see one on the road or showroom floor before comments.

That's ugly

Garduna · 03-17-2012, 08:44 PM

why bother. the cls is a big 2+2 anyways. Just make and keep the E63 amg and C63 amg wagons. Such a waste of time and effort. They are just hurting their own market. Plus it looks like shit

Isn't a shooting brake a two door that is stretched out like a wagon?

I've never considered a CLS a "coupe" as Mercedes insists it is. It is "coupe like" but a coupe has only two doors IMO. Same with a shooting brake.

This is just a weird looking CLS wagon. That said, I hope MB does bring it to the US. It may just increase interest in Tourings and Avants so the Germans will keep bringing them to North America.

that is hideous

MediaArtist · 03-18-2012, 03:31 PM

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I won't criticize anyone who wants this, but I personally find it ghastly.

hks786 · 03-18-2012, 03:40 PM

Finally, a car we all agree on. Its hideous lol.

aajami · 03-18-2012, 04:00 PM

I think it looks great. To each their own, I suppose.

you're so right beauty is superficial, one can't judge a car or people just by the way it looks.
