Wink Mercedes CLS Wagon ?



I think the CLS is sexier than the E class sedan, but with a wagon body, it takes away the sexy lines of the 4 door coupe . . .

Thats an E class with the CLS front.



Doesn't look too bad. My buddy is obsessed with wagons and loves the CLS so I bet he'll shart himself when he sees this.

I think it's a conflict of interest to make a CLS wagon. The CLS is an E class with a different body. The CLS is supposed to be a 4 door coupe. If they could make a swept back estate than maybe I could see a CLS wagon but this isn't sporty looking at all.

far too small to be a CLS, they converted the front to a CLS, everything else is identical to the E wagon

Interesting and different, but I dont like it that much. The front fenders are too muscular for the E-class and unfortunately it is missing that strong character line the CLS has running the length of the car.

I'm pretty sure this is a one off, like the GS300 with a LS430 front. Cause that car is for sure a E class wagon from everything but the fenders/hood/headlights. I mean compare the pillars, look at the windows, taillights, I mean everything.

I don't like this one, but I think it's still a lot better than the S class with the SLR nose lol . . .
