Witnessing the unveiling of another icon

The Paris Motor Show is undeniably one of the most important auto show events in the world, as it continually provides the perfect venue for auto makers around the world to debut their latest creations. One such over-achiever is the 2004 CLS. Back then, this car surprised millions by its graceful lines and powerful aura. Since then, it has become an icon of premium car design, as well as a favorite amongst each and every fan of the three-pointed star brand.

It’s only proper for an icon such as the CLS to be introduced to the world right in very capital of romantic getaways, Paris, France. It was, and still is, the most ideal locations for such monumental events not just for auto makers, but for anyone who strives for greater success in industries such as fashion and lifestyle. And so a certain Mercedes-Benz fan who goes by the name of The SLS AMG Reporter braved the French tour to witness yet another unveiling of an icon.

If you’re aware, the original CLS was actually classified as a four-door coupe. It combines elegance and sportiness, the mark of a truly lovable and unforgettable premium vehicle. The Reporter is fortunate enough to have driven the CLS dozens of times, and he’s still brazen with its character.

You just got to watch the video, folks. No one relays this story better than Matthew himself.

We’re not sure if it was because pictures started leaking on to the internet on a daily basis or if this was planned for a late Saturday announcement, but Mercedes-Benz has finally released official photos and info of the all new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS. It will make its public debut at this years Paris Motor Show, which will take place in early October. We’re extremely happy to not only have had the official pictures, but now have the official information to accompany it.

The CLS-Class created a new vehicle category in 2003 by combining the elegance and expressiveness of a coupe with the comfort and functionality of a sedan. The CLS delighted the public, astounded the competition and created a new style icon: for years the CLS has endured as the only four-door coupe in its class, and since October 2004 it has been the car of choice for around 170,000 buyers worldwide.

“Customers all over the world benefited from our bold move to launch a completely new vehicle concept onto the market”, explains a delighted Dr. Joachim Schmidt, member of the board of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Sales & Marketing. “And with its exciting design, the new edition of the CLS also benefits from the fact that we are a whole generation ahead of the competition with our four-door Coupe.”
