[W126 Coupe] New CL

[Robin Jones]

I think you're looking at the CLE which is based on the CLS design, but with 
a Mazda RX-8/Saturn style rear door. It's supposed to be built on the 
C-Class chassis. At the rate MB is going, they'll have more models than GM 
pretty soon.

The first time my wife say a CLS, she said "eeuw, yuk".
