The Mercedes S-Class Coupe is once again the subject of spy photos. Having restyled the Mercedes CL, the makers will rename the luxury coupe, fitting it to the new guidelines for naming its models: less distinction and more identity among the different types of bodies in the same category.

Like what happened during the handover between the CLK and the E-Class Coupe, we’ll be watching a similar occurrence in the higher class. The new S-Class Coupe will be presented in 2010 and will be differentiated from the CL by a series of small aesthetic updates that go hand in hand with the very recent facelift the car has had.

The new daytime LED headlights, the newly-designed fenders, the slightly more pronounced grill, the new rear-view mirrors with turn signal lights, and the squared tail pipes call to mind the other very similar vehicles of the S-Class. But it is the anterior headlights, with their new profile, that give this elegant coupe a new look.

After having presented the Mercedes GL Class at the New York show, the company has released these shots of the facelift. It appears graceful and comfortable after the modifications, and less agressive compared to the previous generation.

The over-size dimension has apparently allowed for new engine options, including two new V6’s which are both diesel (at 224 hp, and 211 hp for the BlueTEC version), three V8’s with power ranging from 306 hp for the 450 CDI, and 388 hp for the 500 petrol. In addition, Mercedes has shaved eight percent off fuel consumption, conforming to Euro 5 norms.

Airmatic suspension will also increase the height of the car to 307 millimetres and the Offraod-Pro package gives added four wheel drive capability.

The Mercedes GL Class restyling has been presented at the New York auto show, with no concern about becoming hybrid, being proud of the fact that it’s big and imposing. Only minute changes have been made, preserving the original style of this offroad.

Some changes have been made around the skirting for a touch of elegance, and the front has been modified in the headlights and grill. The engine range remains as is, with the V8 petrol in two versions of 4.7 and 5.5 litres, with 340 hp and 388 hp respectively. Two diesel engines also feature, at 224 and 306 hp.
