Mercedes-Benz has taken the wraps off the all-new 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake, which is the production version of the concept that we saw two years ago in Beijing. According to Mercedes-benz, the CLS Shooting Brake is still a "coupe" like the standard CLS, but "with five doors and a roof which continues through to the rear, it promises some remarkable new possibilities."

"The CLS Shooting Brake is based on the great tradition of stylish sportiness which has always characterised Mercedes, and takes these unique icons an exciting step further", explains Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes‑Benz. "It stands for the enhanced design idiom of Mercedes-Benz which is oriented towards aesthetic, avant-garde principles."

The CLS Shooting Brake will be available with a range of four-cylinder, V6 and V8 engines when it's released, unfortunately Mercedes-Benz has no plans to offer it in the U.S.
Dats a big bitch... But if I was looking for a wagon (and I could afford it)... I might be looking at it.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I sat in the sedan Monday night before our dinner meet. It's still cramped up front as far as headroom and the back seat is a two-up. Kind of meh....as much as I like the wagon form. The CTS-V wagon is better buy.
