[/quote]The B is a european model which has 5 door hatchback similar to the R but smaller. The V is a ugly van that is use mainly for delivery companies. Don't have pics but I also seen a few here in the States. I forgot to mention their diesel tractor trailer truck also. And yes I also was think current production models.

I think, this CLE is purely speculative. If any of you guys want a real-world round-up of what MB has in the pipeline for the next five years, complete with dates, engines and details, I?d recommend www.jesmb.de. Sorry, only german language, but this guy has solid information so early (and proved right so often in the past), must be inside. No CLE here, CLS to be replaced 2010 or not.

While I've always liked the CLS when it first came out, I think Mercedes is making the wrong move here. The CLS is in a class of it's own. If you start making mini, affordable versions available to everyone, your going to lose the uniqueness that is the CLS. Pretty soon you'll start seeing CLS wanna be everywhere and that's going to take away from the original.

Making the CLS design more reachable...
Imagine you paid 80k for a CLS and this CLE comes rolling by for 1/4 the price. Mercedes is garbage.
The only way BMW can keep up is if they make a BMW minivan and start throwing a bunch of impulse designs and making them production.
Mercedes = Chrysler = :thumbsdown:
