The highly successful Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is getting a facelift for the 2009 model year. An instant style icon from day one, the CLS coupe has spurred an automotive industry trend toward more eye-catching four-door cars -- vehicles that blur the line between coupe and sedan.

The sleek nose of the new CLS is complemented by a more dramatic two-bar grille, with upper and lower grilles now finished in Atlas Grey. Larger outside mirrors now feature built-in arrow-shaped turn signals, and new dual-five-spoke 18-inch wheels make the car even more striking. A new rear bumper with trapezoidal dual exhaust pipes and arrow-shaped LED taillights complete the fresh look of the hot new model.

For the 2009 model year, the CLS line will include the CLS550, powered by a DOHC four-valve-per-cylinder V8 engine that produces 382-horsepower and 391 lb.-ft. of torque, and the high-performance CLS63 AMG, fitted with a AMG-designed 6.2-liter V8 that makes a whopping 507 hp and 465 lb.-ft. of torque.

A handsome, coupe-like car that boasts the comfort and convenience of four doors, the CLS features sleek, sensuous exterior lines. Its large rear doors and spacious rear seats also represent tangible added value. Those stylish contours continue throughout the interior, which is complemented by an abundance of leather and wood.
