Will all these models be available for the US Market as well? This summer?

Nope. The CLS350 might have an outside chance if they want to up the sales by giving it the same engine as the 09' SLK350 with 300+ hp which is right where the old CLS500 used to be. The CLS280 not a chance. I'd say that neither are coming here. CLS is SL/CL/S level car in MBUSA's eyes, meaning V8 only.

Nope. No 6-cylinder CLSs for the North American market. Not even Canada.

In Europe, the Mid East and Asia, YES.

Mercedes should follow the competition - more power to the people.

A CLS350 with the 315hp V6 from the FL SL350 would do well in the U.S. if priced right IMO.

No, but I doubt people would stop buying a CLS350 just becuase it happen to have 315 hp

Like we established earlier: there's a car for "everyone" here (different tastes).

Personally I'd go with a CLS320 CDI.

Germans are nuts about diesel. When I visit autobahn , all I see are diesels.
