The Benzo Bunch have let fly with the official shots of their 2007 CL-Class coup-ay, a few days after the first such shots were leaked across the webs. The official line goes like this: The CL-Class, which is built on the S-Class platform — and has gotten a redesign that brings it closer to the S's styling — will launch in Fall '06. It gets all the shiny objects expected in late-model Mercedes products, including the company's COMAND driver interface, PRE-SAFE automatic braking system and ABC active body control suspension. As expected, it'll come in two sizes, the V8-powered, 383-hp CL500 and 532-hp, V12-powered CL600. AMG will likely make its own introduction of the (hyperbole alert) 10,000-hp CL63.
