Germany’s AutoBild magazine has published new computer renderings of what it says is the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class. While we try not to put too much faith in renderings published by magazines, we’re reasonably certain that these images — which show a coupe and convertible — are based on actual insider information and photos. That’s because in recent years, Mr. Huckfeldt — the artist responsible for these renderings — has accurately predicted the appearance of the 2005 BMW 3-Series , 2007 Mercedes S-Class, 2007 Mercedes CL-Class, and many others. The car has split headlights similar to those predicted for the next-generation E-Class. From the side, the CL and CLS influence is obvious, with a very aggressive greenhouse and swooping beltline. The taillight design is unlike anything we’ve seen before from Mercedes. The car most certainly won’t arrive as a 2007 model, but it might arrive for the 2008 or 2009 model years.
