Default 2011 Mercedes CL Spied Sans Camo, Snow

Did a search and couldn't find any threads on this so here's some spy shots of the next 2011 Mercedes CL + article

http://jalopnik.com/5475681/2011-mer...yline=true&s=i


The 2011 Mercedes CL — the basis for the next-gen AMG CL65 — was spotted by spy photographers stripped of most of its camo. Thankfully, the new CL fared better in the sun than in the snow.

The CL is a fine automobile, but it's the CL65 AMG we care most obsessed about so we're pleased the big Mercedes coupe will get the same edgy treatment found on the new 2010 Mercedes E-Class. This includes a sharper new grille, more detailed hood (notice the lines), the boomerang LEDs in the front clip and crisper LED headlamps. In addition to these family generational trends, the CL600 appears to benefit from a revised exhaust, reshaped trunk and integrated reverse lights.

As for power, we expect the same line of V8s to be offered in the U.S., as well as a giant V12 for the AMG version with enough juice to make the sauerest kraut smile.










From my own opinions, I really like the overall profile of the new CL. Nicely done to keep up with current Mercedes design language. The fronts are very bold and angular. Very in your face. I like it

From what I have heard, this will be renamed "S Class Coupe", similar to how the CLK became E Class Coupe.

Not sure how vaild those rumors are...
