With crossovers and SUVs as popular as ever in the U.S., Mercedes-Benz has decided to reserve the CLS Shooting Brake for the European market. A company spokesman revealed to Automotive News Europe that the decision was made due to "the continued aversion to wagons by U.S. car buyers."
When the CLS Shooting Brake hits the European market in October, buyers will have a wide variety of configurations to choose from. The base model CLS Shooting Brake will come with a fuel-sipping diesel engine while the range-topping CLS AMG Shooting Brake will be equipped with a fire-breathing V8 engine.
Although the CLS Shooting Brake won't be coming to these shores, Mercedes will continue to offer U.S. buyers a wagon version of its similarly-sized E-Class.
