It's not too often that we get to look at the various designs that lead up to the final product. Occasionally, an automaker will send out an early sketch as with the redesigned Honda Pilot. That's why we're grateful to Mercedes for sharing some of the early drawings for the 2009 Mercedes CLC. More »

We've already brought you pictures of the 2009 Mercedes CLC covered with models for the Berlin Fashion Week. As we originally thought, the new version of the Sports Coupe isn't actually based on the new C-Class architecture but instead gets the visual enhancements to make it look like the rest of the line. In fact, they've enhanced or newly developed 1,100 components (which could mean suspension or could mean shift knob gasket). Engines include two turbodiesels, two four-cylinder mills and two six-cylinder engines mated either to a six-speed manual, five speed auto or the 7GTRONIC. Though not the most expensive model in Mercedes' line, it's an important one as 40% of Sports Coupe buyers moved up to a larger Mercedes such as the E-Class, CLK or SLK. Full press release below the jump.

We're also told that just like the chassis, the engine choices for the CLC will be the same as those found in the C-Class. But hey, it's got a pretty new look, doesn't it? Full spy report after the jump. More »
