Cars - Mercedes Benz CLS Styling




The MB CLS started a new styling trend when first appeared. Its “sweeping arc” roofline sets its apart from other 4 door saloon cars. Other car manufactures are following its success with models of their own (VW Passat CC).
.
When first looking at the car, it seems the styling is familiar from somewhere. It is using a bended shape, starting from the front, continue with a curved roofline and ends with dropped back. This style looks similar to past Jaguars and Rolls-Royce.
.
This similarity, or style motivation, does not ends here... there is another car that the MB CLS sharing its style with: The Thunderbirds FAB1 (British mid-1960s television show where puppets played the characters). Look for yourself.
