There are conflicting reports on what the name of this vehicle will be. CLC is what is being reported but it may be BLS as well. Regardless, the baby CLS will be making its debut next year and it will be made in North America at the 2012 New York Auto Show. The renderings below clearly are inspired by the new SL. Expect the vehicle to have Mercedes new turbo 4 cylinder under the hood with an all wheel drive option. No word on an AMG version but we hope that happens.
