Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could give me a decent educated guess on when the new CLS will come out. I want to buy the currently CLS next June *2008* for my 21st birthday BUTTT I want the shape to be current model for at least 2 years from june 2008. As in i dont want the car if (within 2 years from june 2008) the car gets dropped off production because a new CLS came into play. Thanks in advance - Mickey

Well it was released in 04.. given that it gets a normall life cycle of a MB modell the new one should arrive 6 years from 04 meaning 2010...
and you can expect a Face lift sometime this year..
so if you in 08 get the FL'ed modell you should be good for another 2-3 years..

I hope this helped

Yeah that sounds about right, also given that the new E-class, off which the new CLS would be based, arrives in 09.

Yeah in the 2010-11 timeframe. It came to the U.S. for the 2006 model year and should go until the 2011 model year I guess. Seems like a long time, but we'll be looking as spy photos and what not in no time.

wow thanks for your info im very anixous to see the CLS face lift. Question is what QUARTER do you think the new CLS would come in 2010?

Hi MicketTER, welcome to GCZ.

Hard to say which quarter the new CLS should come out. You can't go wrong with the current one though.

I've driven the CLS350, CLS500 and CLS320 CDI and they're all wonderful cars. Yesterday I was at the local Mercedes-Benz dealership and they had a smokesilver CLS350 up there with beautiful rims, I wanted to buy that baby on the spot. Of course, I didn't have the money.

Here are my CLS reviews if they help.

CLS320 CDI (C219): - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

CLS350 (C219): - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

CLS500 (C219): - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

well if your living in the US..you would be very lucky if you see it last quarter 2010 or first 2011 ..

Thanks all for your information, very much apperciated. I guess its because im still young (19) and im saving up for a bad ass car when i turn 21 i just feel if the CLS was to change shape 1 year after i would feel pretty crappy. I want the car to still be in current models if that makes sense, but again thanks for all of your help

yep i hear you.. its no good when your new car gets old within 9 months
but i think you should be safe..

and good luck.. buying such a hot car at a young age.. enjoy it

yeah i had some rough times within the last 2 years but im hoping a sweet ride will make up for it by the way "daddy" isnt buying this or anything im saving up every penny and earning it. The new m3 is also something im considering but i really really do not like the way the license plate is going to be on the bumper. i just feel it ruins the car IMO. what do you think?
