Here's one veil that automotive journalists and Detroit motor show-goers alike won't be able to lift no matter how hard they try. See, what appears in these pictures to be a car gently draped in silver cloth is in fact a clay automotive sculpture. Its purpose? To offer us a glimpse of the future Mercedes-Benz design language.
"Creativity and inspiration are always the driving forces behind outstanding engineering achievements," said Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
"With this work of art, we want to express the characteristic Mercedes-Benz design and, at the same time, convey an impression of our forthcoming new models."
Despite the fact that Mercedes-Benz avoided to say which exact car the sculpture with its blistered wheel arches and rounded tail hints at most, we assume that it gives away clues for the next-generation CLS four-door sports sedan.

yes, when you are a dewsh BAG designer (yes, U gordo) then you wrap your crap in a dewshy type bag...
enjoy!
i thought pics of the actual car were shown before, perhaps in "car" magazine or in a 'benz magazine. i remember thinking what subtle but nice changes they made. hmm... any way, i am not a fan of teases at an autoshow. bring out a concept if the real version is either not ready for introduction to the public or the actual vehicle must remain a secret.
What a massive looking front end. I really like the little we can actually see. Teaser it is! D*mn them at M-Benz!
ok. now where is the entire mercedes-benz e-class ragtop promised? do we have to wait beyond today? another tease! i am looking foward to the "e" 'vert. i was never a big "clk" fan.
Click here for the Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet
wait! the e-class drophead coupe was released for view in december 2009. check it out here at carscoop. awesome pics. i think it is the estate (wagon) or an amg version of one of the e-class models that we should see at this year's show.
^ hey, thanks, john for the scoop! i love the cabriolet!
The cool thing about being at the show is that this display looks really hot. You can actually see the car clearly, but you most get up close. tricky, but effective!
