Possible glimpse of next gen MB CLS at Detroit
Detroit 2010: Mercedes-Benz sculpture

The first concept to be officially unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show is this, a sculpture by Mercedes-Benz that foretells the future of its vehicles – and specifically the CLS.
From the SLS AMG-inspired fascia to the overly blistered fenders clearly inspired by the recent E-Class coupe, the T2-style sculpture features two signature lines that are set to infect the rest of the Mercedes line-up in the near future.
According to officials, this stylistic exercise represents M-B's transition from its traditional wedge shape to a new, edgy art-deco design inspired by the '30s. Aesthetic fripperies aside, this is the future of the CLS, which we expect to see in full concept form later this year.

Looks sleek. I have always liked the lines of the CLS and this is no different. Very excited to see what MB has planned for this, especially if the styling resembles that of my new dream car, the SLS.

Mercedes does not want to reveal their concepts too early because they have great designs and the moment they show case it EVERYBODY starts to copy them.
