SPY PHOTOS: Mercedes CLS Facelift
First restyling since lainch in 2004

DaimlerChrysler’s successful four door coupe CLS is about to get its first restyling. The photos are showing a prototype in cold weather testing. Quite visibly the car is featuring a completely new front grille in the style of its big brother CL, and also the rear end – still under cover – gets all new taillights and a new bumper.

The current CLS came on the market in August 2004, so one can expect the facelift to be scheduled for release in 2008.

Bumpers, grille and taillights, as expected.

CLS facelift is being considered with a fifth seat. Currently the CLS seats only 4...

Only thing I can tell that is largely different are the tailpipes which do look cool.

I can't imagine what they'll do with this car other than go from a 4 to a 3 slat grille and some minor cosmetic tweaks. I'd like to see a CLS600 though, but I don't think the V12 will fit. They could make the CLS600 like the old W124 E500, wider fenders, no AMG kit and an exclusive interior.

I have never liked the CLS so I doubt a facelift is going to help

The new grill design makes the front of the car look very empty.
