yeah but it's still just a wagon.

Lol

Anyways, to be honest, I'm not sure why some people would call this ugly (much like how they label the Panamera as ugly). I also got this similar vibe by some people for the design of the Ferrari FF as well

I guess some people need to warm up to the shooting brake design (?)

Oh well, I guess design is really subjective

^^ Design is very subjective. To that end I love this CLS SB and the Ferrari FF, but I don't like the Panamera hah

Weird. I like the panamera, dislike this, and don't really care for the FF

Abomination of a car.

Needs an AMG version with the Bi-Turbo V12. That is all.

Someone is in a lot of trouble over at Mercedes-Benz. The automaker accidentally put up a few images and details about the upcoming CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake on its German consumer site, and our friends at Car and Driver gleaned what they could before all the information disappeared again.

Word has it the longroof will make use of the same twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 found behind the headlights of the four-door variant. That means buyers will get to enjoy 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Should those numbers be to skinny, Mercedes-Benz will also offer a performance pack that nudges the figures toward 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed Speedshift automatic transmission will handle gear swapping duties, though the traditional torque converter has been scrapped in favor of a computer-controlled clutch.

As magical as all that sounds, there's still little chance we'll see the machine on our shores. Mercedes-Benz has made it clear the standard CLS Shooting Brake is not meant for U.S. buyers, so it follows the CLS63 AMG will remain similarly forbidden. What a shame.

I can't help but to see a futuristic looking hearse.

Hehe well if this new CLS63 AMG shooting brake would be labelled as a 'hearse', then I would be happy if this would be the vehicle that will transport me to my grave/deathbed.

If I had money, I would get BOTH the four-door version as well as this one. Two epic versions of one epic MB vehicle

I love wagon over sedan in general.

The CLS is on my top wanted MB list say how much I like this CLS. Just think why there are imitators like Audi A7 and VW CC, etc.

However, I think CLS wagon (or Shooting Brake whatever) kills the proportion of the brilliant CLS, it's a NO NO from me.

Looks like a hearse to me.

Some of the team recently got to experience one in Japan. It is also modified. As rare as it gets.

I also got to see my first one live in the flesh at the Tokyo Auto Salon and there is nothing else like it in the world, super rare.

I'll post more pics of the stock one from T.A.S and this modified one.
