Time to Bid Farewell to Mercedes-Benz CLS
MANILA: Mercedes-Benz has taken off the veil from the Final Edition CLS. The compact executive car that was launched some time back, precisely in 2013 is soon going to become a yesteryear affair. And it seems like Mercedes wants CLS's last memories to be all stylish and premium. All this is rightly reflected by CLS Final Edition model. Though, CLS since its debut has always maintained a high profile standard for itself, but with the Final Edition model Merc has taken it to an altogether different level. We'd also like to use this opportunity to remind you about Honda CR-Z final Edition model that only a few days back went on sale in the Philippines.
But before starting with its new exterior design and interior amenity discussion, let's try and find the reason of CLS's early departure. Well, what we think can be the strongest reason of CLS's retirement is its poor sales figure in the U.S and China market. Also, what earlier came as only CLS Shooting Brake end is now extended to its coupe version as well. All these trails of events make us wonder if Mercedes is planning to wrap-up the CLS division altogether.
