For those folks who don’t know, Mercedes-Benz was preparing a shooting brake version of the CLS four-door coupe but something happened… the financial crisis came and it appears that the German manufacturer put the vehicle on hold.

The car was set for a 2011 debut, a year after the unveiling of the new model which will be revealed in 2010. Of course, its a pity, because the Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION (shown in the photo gallery) made quite a buzz at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. Also, the car could have the same success as its sedan brother, because it would be the first in its segment. If you remember, the Mercedes-Benz CLS, at the time of its launch, was the only car in its segment and after its success the competition rolled of the Volkswagen Passat CC and Audi A5 Sportback. So, if the financial crisis goes away it is a big probability to see the CLS Shooting Brake on the streets! Photo gallery after the jump!
