New spy photos have emerged that pretty much lay to rest any questions that remain regarding the next-generation 2012 Mercedes CLS, at least in respect to its exterior rennovations. As you’ll see in the photos, virtually every major area of the 2012 CLS is visible, including the front headlight, most of the front bumper, the entire side profile, and the entire rear of the model. I won’t waste your time describing at length the CLS’s new look, as you can simply view the pictures and its various design characteristics for yourself; but I will say that overall, I think the Mercedes designers have done a fantastic job updating what was already a gorgeously styled model. Look for the 2012 Mercedes CLS to make its premier at the Paris Motor Show later this year, with the model going on sale sometime in 2012.
