Here are a couple of leaked shot of the new 2009 Mercedes CLS and we gathered a few details to boot.

Compared with the current model, the new model gets:
- New front-end with only 2 grilles instead of 3
- Different wheels, similar in style to the 911 Turbo. Upgraded from 18in to 19in
- Rear LED lighting
- Carbon spoiler
- Different exhaust

As soon as we find out more will will pass it on.

the CLS is pretty much an E-Class dressed in haute cocher.

I'm taking it that you meant Haute Couture?

Note: French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking"; pronounced [o?t ku'ty?]it refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted fashions.

If so, then yes, the CLS is little more than a High Fashion E-Class.

I like it overall with the exception of the mirrors: they look a little weird design-wise. Somehow they don't seem to flow with the rest of the car.

Doesn't really look any different than the model that we have now. Thats what MB calls new?
I'm confused.

It's a facelift. The car gets tweaks here and there but the basic design remains the same.

Perfect competitor to the Lexus ES. Both are shaped like bananas.

the ES is compared to the buicks, not the CLS you troll.

Wait a minute, I was comparing the CLS to the ES in terms of design. Both of them look like a banana in a way. Nowhere did I expressively say that the CLS competes directly with the ES.

you wrote perfect competitor... I think that means it "competes". Use another word next time to avoid looking like an idiot.

wow michael, you are either dumber than f*** or just plain ignorant
have you learned that the word "competitor" is derived from "compete?" or are you still in preschool...

Agent009 is having a rough time differentiating "new" and a "refresh".

I like it. I am not fond of the wheels though and have four of them sitting in my garage as those same wheels came stock on my 997tt . They are good quality and forged BBS but I think they look Corvetteish .

This 4-door coupe is starting to look really dated, 10 years is a long time to hold onto the same design, even if you stole it off the US halfway.

Give me an E, atleast the rear passengers won't end up with concussions.

10 Years ?

I was under the impression the CLS became available in 2005.

While I think so many of Mercedes' efforts have been lacking for a long time, this has been one of the best...and still is. It is definitely a love-it or hate-it design, but IMO it's focused and has a singular purpose - it looks sharp and performs well. It is not MEANT to have a load of rear headroom...it's meant to look good. If you need the rear room, you don't get this car....simple as that. Change the styling from Teutonic to British and this is what a Jaguar should be in terms of proportions and concept.

"It is definitely a love-it or hate-it design"

Actually, no. It's a LOVE it design. No "hate" here.

IMO, it's the second most beautiful sedan on the road... behind the Maserati QP.

Nice car- almost Porsche-like back, and front too is nice. Hope it drives nice too!

By the way: those Mercedes-logo's on front are getting SO large... fifteen years ago it wasn't larger than the bottom of a teacup, now its almost the size of a melon!

I95,
You didn't pick up on my joke. Look at the picture of the Chrysler Concorde, it's the direct predecessor to the CLS (look at the pic I linked to). Chrysler's marketing dept wasn't keen enough to think up "4-door coupe" as a gimmick to sell what really is an out of place car. For the price of a CLS, pony up an extra $10,000 and get an S. Like these people should be counting pennies.
