CLs

Quickening · 09-30-2007, 12:13 AM

So my dad has loved the CLS since it came out. I too love this car. He is looking at an Obsidian Black metalic with red interior. Hot. But he was wondering if they will be tweaking it in the next year or two? And I ws thinking yeh, its getting close to being half way through its life. So I didn't know if yall had heard anything.

At the same time, its like how can you mess with the exterior of the CLS. It started the current MB styling. And Everything flows and fits together in that car, you change something it throws off the lines. So I was thinking maybe an interior change?

I know the E class got a little freshning this year, so CLS next year?

A totally new E-Class is supposedly due next year.
CLS is probably due in 2 years.

So no MCE?

Mercedes usually runs on a 7 year model cycle. I wouldn't expect CLS to get one for 2 years. Besides, didn't CLS just undergo a slight interior refresh... or upgrade??
But who knows.

You might be right, its now a CLS550 instead of 500. So maybe with the engine upgrade they re did the interior slightly. But I haven't been keeping up with MB activity lately.

Mercedes' mid-cycle refreshes tend to be rather minimalistic, especially if the car is well-done. In the E-Klasse, they have basically just changed the grille so that it wouldn't fit and that's all, except for equipment enhancements, IIRC. So, I believe whatever got changed the last time in the CLS was supposed to be the MCE. It is still a hot vehicle, Mercedes doesn't need to refresh it that much.

Thats what I was figuring. I'll tell my dad, thanks for the info.

Has your dad gone to look at any? I absolutely love the exterior of the car, however after getting inside of one, there was much left to be desired. It felt like it didn't belong in a vehicle of that price, and didn't quite seem like it matched the exterior design. It was very puffy, like that of a Jaguar.

Yeh he has looked at a ton. I kinda agree with you that the exteterior design and the interior desgin do not match at all.

My mom's friend just ordered a CLS550 in Capri Blue and Ash Leather...she is so excited. I love this car.
