Mercedes CLS Named Popular Mechanics' Design Car Of The Year

Yesterday we received an email from the good folks over at Popular  
Mechanics, pointing us to a Mercedes story they ran that we somehow  
managed to overlook.

In the October Issue of Popular Mechanics' 2006 Cars and Trucks of  
the Year awards, the Mercedes-Benz CLS was named the winner in the  
magazine's "Design" category.  And can we blame them?  After all, it  
is the car that graces every page of our website.

So why did they choose the CLS?  "To us, it's a rolling metal  
sculpture of a racing greyhound or a thoroughbred. The long wheelbase  
mimics legs stretched out front and rear, the nose low, straining for  
the finish line... this car screams forward motion and will always  
rate a parking valet's favored spot."

I would have to say that is an excellent analogy of everyone's  
favorite four-door coupe.  The CLS is, in my opinion, simply gorgeous.
