It's new, it's bad-ass and is coming to the States. It's Mercedes's new mid-line model coming around 2005. It's the style as people call a 4-door coupe, because of its frameless doors. It carries the same engine as any other 500 model of Mercedes: 5.0-liter V8 with 302HP. It falls between the current mid-lined E500 and the lowest price S-Class which makes it around $60,000; and will not be replacing any current Benz models. The model was first introduced at teh Frankfurt auto show, under the name of Benz's program Vision, so it was at the time the Vision CLS.
