Luxury Cars: Watch out for the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS at the Paris Motor Show this fall. Months before its debut, the company teased potential customers with a cryptic sculpture at the Detroit Auto Show and by revealing the striking Shooting Break concept at the China show.

Many have long waited for the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS to arrive. The latest generation has a sharper appearance with crisper lines and creases. When this model first came out, it was applauded for its mold-shattering design that featured four elegantly-styled doors. Since then, luxury rivals BMW, Porsche, Jaguar and Audi have emulated this design. The latest vehicle still has the timeless proportions but it now has a sharper focus with exciting new design elements such as a prominent grille and a long hood.
