Just a few days ago spy pictures of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS appeared. Not at the best angles admittedly, so today is payback. These photographs show almost every angle of the car, even under heavy camo. The roof is completely bare for all to see and so are the squashed rectangular tailpipes.

Some reports have suggested the four-door coupe CLS will be based on an S-Class platform but it will actually be based on the E-Class. In keeping with its earth eco responsibilities, Mercedes will for the first time, offer a BlueHybrid version of its sporting 2+2 seater using the same engine as the S400 BlueHybrid. Additionally a few engines found in the E-Class should make their way into the CLS engine bay too, meaning petrol and diesel as well as a 400kW / 536hp-plus AMG.

The CLS practically invented its segment when it came into the market in 2004. It gave people with families of about three or four a spacious car with four doors plus the driving characteristics of a two-door sports coupe.

I think the front will look more like current CL class. That would be great.

Nah, it's pretty much the same as the current model. It just seems bigger 'cause of the camo.

I wonder if this one will be better than the current one, because the existing one looks really nice.

Yeah, I really do hope they don't mess around with the design too much, just some extra details and what not. The current CLS looks damn cool, and its still the best car to have, if you want a four door coupe. None of the others come close.
