Mercedes CLS: CLS to mimic CL

DaimlerChrysler’s successful four door coupé CLS is about to get its first restyling. Our spy-shots reveal the car’s minor changes as tested in northern Scandinavia: Quite visibly the car is featuring a completely new front grille in the style of its big brother CL, and also the rear end – still under cover – gets all new taillights and a new bumper.
The current CLS came on the market in August 2004, so one can expect the facelift to be scheduled for release in 2008.

Is it just me, or do others think the grill looks less menacing/powerful?

Agreed- a little too C like for me.

I think the new grille with the two bars make the front end look smaller overall and more "innocent". But maybe that's the non-AMG body kit that gives it the softer look as well.
