Mercedes / Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break Concept

Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break Concept
No, that's not a typo. The latest design exercise from Mercedes-Benz, set to make its debut at this week's 2010 Beijing Auto Show, is in fact called the Shooting Break concept. That's 'Break,' not the more traditional English 'brake' normally reserved for two-door, wagon-styled, coupe-based hatchbacks originally designed for hunting trips. But perhaps that's because this isn't that type of car.No, this Shooting Break concept leaves the stuffy 'old world' shooting brake neatly in the dust, replacing it with what is essentially a sneak peek of what a wagon version of the next CLS sedan could look like. Of course many of the oft-emulated CLS "four-door coupe" elements are there -- the slippery arched profile; the swooping character line that runs seamlessly from front to rear; the long, taut body lines. But Mercedes has borrowed plenty of new elements to keep things fresh.
