Also the next cls will be based on the 2009 e class as per the current. They say it will be a little longer and wider. Wheelbase grows by 150mm. They are delivering a DI engine in the 550 in 2012 so the article says watch resale values in the first 2010 models. The 350 gets a 218kw 3.5lt v6, the 550 gets a 289kw but the twin turbo 325kw DI arrives 2012. As it is an Aussie mag no info for you US people on whether you get the 350 this time around.. Also it is not the bottom pic but the 2 top ones. I prefer the bottom one. I guess the thing I don't like is the way the crease ends at the rear wheel into some sort of wheel arch. It is a bit clearer in the mag pic than here. I love the clean lines of the current CLS. I hope it is beeter in the metal. probably will be. Thanks for your reply. Chris. |
how can they redesign this car in just after 5 model years(2006,07.08,09).Germans cars get new body styles after 7 years or more.even though this car is based on the Eclass but E class was redesigned for 2003 model year,and cls came in 2006 model year.and cls just got facelifted for the 09 model year.
a good example is that Toyota camry and toyota solara are both based on the same plateform but they get their body styles get changed 3 years apart.
