Mercedes has added yet another award to its prestigious repertoire,  
this time taking home the New Strait Times (NST) MasterCard Car of  
the Year Award for the always-impressive CLS 350.

The award was given by a panel of five senior automotive journalists,  
who based their decision on criteria such as exterior and interior  
design, passenger comfort and driver ergonomics and performance,  
driving characteristics, safety, perceived quality and value for money.

In addition to the CLS, sixty-five other vehicles were also up for  
nomination, all with a basic criteria that each car must be a brand  
new model or a significantly revised upgrade of an existing model.  
Last year’s winners are automatically added as entries as defending  
champions as well.

You're probably thinking, "That's great, but why isn't the CLS 350  
available in America?"

You may soon be in luck - Autospies is reporting today the CLS 350  
may be hitting U.S. shores in 2007.

But then again, why would you want a CLS 350 when you can opt for a  
CLS 55 AMG? Regardless of what your wife tells you, bigger equals  
better.
