In a quick follow up to our last post, we've taken the liberty of compiling a rather interesting photo montage showcasing the birth of the 2007 CL-Class and its various design stages.

I always find it intriguing to see what the designers originally envisioned for the new model, and seeing how well it translates over into the final version.  As you'll see, there was a tremendous amount of variation from the original CL's incarnation to the final product; I'll let you form your own conclusion as to whether or not that's a good thing.

As always, click any photo enlarge.
