2009 Mercedes Benz CLK Has The Snake Eyes

The lens jockeys at KGP have managed to snag us a darn good look at the upcoming 2009 Mercedes Benz CLK. While we've seen the shape of the car before we haven't seen the new split-design headlights and the very bizarre trunk lid design. According to our spies, that headlight styling will be migrating across the Benzie lineup and acting as the new snake eyes for the E-class next. What we're not so sure about is the butt-end of this thing. The Germans may be having a tail war.

2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK

The boys over at the Road that is not only bendy, it's Winding have snagged themselves some shots of what they're told is the 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK out on the mean streets o' Stuttgart. They've also been told the new CLK will look "more sporty" and "more luxurious" — and the new model will still be built off the C-class platform. So rather than "aluminum und shteel," is the new CLK "shporty und luxoorious?" Maybe, but only if we get the hard-top version. [via Winding Road]

2009 Mercedes CLK

It would appear, based on the shot above (and gallery below), Mercedes is actively working on the next generation CLK. It looks to be bigger and longer than the outgoing model as this new CLK (and we're assuming, CLK convertible) — which we'd expect as we're hearing it will be based on the bigger and longer new C-class sedan. It goes without saying, however, that refinements will probably need to be done to that chassis to meet expectations of the somewhat more ambitious coupé-drivers of the world. We're also hearing that the frame won't be the only bit o' metal the CLK will take from the new C-class. We've heard the engines will also come from the C-class line-up and will include a V8 for a CLK 500. It's expected the newly sexed up coupé will arrive at dealers in summer 2009 with the soft-top following just a few months later.
