Welcome back ladies and gentlemen; I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  Kicking things off this chilly Monday morning comes the latest look at the next Mercedes CLS – one that shows the model undergoing a bit of cold weather testing on the frigid terrain of Sweden.  As you'll see, the model is heavily disguised, meaning there's not much you'll see in terms of design; however, there is a shot of the model being followed by the current C-Class, giving us at least some indication of the model's proportions.

Aside from that, it will likely still be a little while before any substantial design elements of the next CLS are revealed.  Engines will almost certainly be the ones found on the new E-Class, and pricing should come in a little more than the E-Class (as is the case with the current model).

We'll keep you posted as new details of the next Mercedes-Benz CLS are uncovered; in the meantime, keep scrolling for a few more spy photos of the model (click any pic to enlarge), then head over to GlobalMotors.net for the full Mercedes CLS gallery.

Enjoy ladies and gentlemen.

And to Andrus: thanks for the tip my good sir; we sincerely appreciate it.
