\"\"<\/a>Up until last week, Mercedes-Benz<\/a> had been doing a rather admirable job keeping the 2011 CLS<\/a> under wraps. But as we saw last Friday, that got blown out of the water as the forthcoming four-door was caught posing for the camera<\/a> as part of what appeared to be a photo shoot. All that was missing was a nice clean shot from the front.<\/p>\n

Problem solved. This morning, a lone image has appeared that shows off the shapely new 2011 CLS’ SLS<\/a>-inspired fascia with LED lighting, dramatically sloping roofline and its newly contoured bodysides. As we saw last week, a bit of comparison work proves that the production car will share the vast majority of its sheetmetal with the CLS Shooting Break<\/a> (yes, we know<\/em>… it should be Brake, but we didn’t name it) concept that M-B introduced just a few months back.<\/p>\n

In fact, the car in the spy shot looks so much like the conceptual CLS hatch that we had to open the two in their own windows the double check what we were looking at. See<\/a> for yourself<\/a>. In any case, we’re mostly digging this new fastback sedan shape and relishing the idea of a 5.5-liter turbocharged and direct injected AMG-fettled V8 engine underhood.<\/p>\n
