Bold proportions: a long hood, compact greenhouse with frameless side windows, dramatic roof sweeping back at an angle towards the rear – these are the hallmarks of the CLS-Class. In 2003 the four-door Coupé was born and the Mercedes-Benz CLS immediately established itself as a new style icon. For 2012 the proportions remain the same but the second generation of this design trendsetter has a completely new look both inside and out. The 2012 CLS550 goes on-sale in the U.S. during the summer of 2011.
