Based on the profile of the sculpture, the body looks already a lot better. Hope they make it right though...

Love the body lines but I do hope they do not bring back that ugly gril that you see on the SLS.

this is art. absolutely brilliant. and that grill, btw, is a mercedes icon so don't do away with it. i can't wait to see it without the disguise.

Wow looks very promising. Will it take the title as the best in class? i think so!

It is hard to top today CLS, and think they've topped it. Nice to see it is not just a mere evolution but it has got sexier with hips and tight curves.
It is a shame that the interior will remind you that you are in a Frankfurt taxi limousine.

Maybe I am wrong. But should it be the next cls design?
I think it is to short. Looks more like a 2 door coupe. The next clk/c class coupe? Or SL?

Those body lines are nice, hope it looks as beautiful as the current CLS

Hi-res photos and press release excerpt added to article.
[UPDATE] Mercedes hints in the press release, "real-life product may ultimately emerge from this flowing creative process."

also i hope this thing is pillarless like the current CLS and Merc's 2-door coupes. that would really top it off.

the current cls isn't actually pillarless. it still posses a b-pillar though mercedes did a good job hiding its appearance. the windows, though, are frameless which is rare for a sedan:

but after seeing this, my confidence in the next-gen cls is restored. those interior shots worried me a bit.

WOW... but I don't see how they can fit four doors to this silhouette with the long bonnet and flared wheel arches. The new SL class instead perhaps? I have high expectations for the next CLS. The current one is simply brilliant and even after all these years still looks stunning.

Fantastic idea, it's a concept car, but without reveling to much (im sorry I cant spell)
