The Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake Concept (we don't care if Mercedes of China fucking mis-translates "brake" as "break," we don't regurgitate inaccurate marketing) previews styling of the next CLS and provides a sneak peak at at the upcoming CLS wagon. More »

We feel about the portly 5-Series GT the same way Indiana Jones feels about snakes. But the just-revealed Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake Concept? Better than finding a new iPhone in a bar. Glorious photos of the sexy wagon inside. More »

This sculpture previews the 2012 Mercedes CLS. Basically, it's looks like the current CLS with a lower rear, more exaggerated lines and the grille from the SLS AMG, all of which is a good thing. More »

According to AutoWeek, Mercedes has given the go-ahead to a wagon based on their sexy Mercedes Benz CLS. It'll undoubtedly be influenced by the shooting-brake ConceptFascination from Paris two years ago, something we'll have absolutely no problem with. More »

The Dutch boys at Autoblog.nl think the Tesla Model S could be based on the Mercedes CLS. One of their commenters put together this overlay image of the two. What do you think? [Autoblog.nl] More »

The first photo shoot of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS features "Brand Ambassador" Julia Stegner with the car as a tie-in for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Berlin 2009. We think that sums up the car nicely. More »

The car industry and the publications that serve it like order. They like to place things into categories and through doing so, exert some illusion of control over the marketplace. The BMW 3-series competes with the Audi A4. The Honda Accord competes with the Toyota Camry. Vehicles are priced to be a few dollars higher or lower than the competition and offer a few percentage points more of some variable or a few less. All this makes for easy Powerpoint presentations, unchallenged marketing departments and easily defined cars; we all know that an Accord is like a Camry, but with a nicer interior and a better driving experience. It's a nice, comfy way to do business. Then a car like the 2009 Volkswagen CC comes along, refuses to play by the rules and screws everything up. How? By offering more than a Mercedes CLS for less than half the price. More »

For 2009, Mercedes will be freshening the CLS sedan "coupe". Honestly, we still really can't tell the difference in the changes. The one change that's hard to miss is the addition of a new entry-level model, the CLS 280. But don't be misled by the numbers on the badge; the V6 will actually be a 3.0-liter unit. Peak output is 231 HP, which will bring the CLS to 100km/h (62mph) in 7.7 seconds. We're not sure if those are decent numbers or not, mainly because we're not exactly sure what the CLS 280 is supposed to be compared to. Perhaps Mercedes is reaching down to fight over customers with Volkswagen's upward-reaching Passat CC? Press release after the jump. More »

Although we'd already heard the new Mercedes CLS AMG wouldn't be getting a power boost beyond 514 HP under the hood, now we're not only hearing what it'll officially look like, we're seeing it. Here's the first shots of the new four-door "coupe" from Daimler — helpfully making the rounds on the internet well before the official reveal date of sometime in the indeterminately near future. Noted differences between the old n' busted model and the new hotness pictured above and below the jump are the bigger 19" wheels, new front grille, rear LED lighting and an odd little carbon fiber mini-spoiler. One more pic below the jump. More »
