Mercedes CLC Shooting Brake Received a Go Signal from Boss

Daimler Chairman and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Dr. Dieter Zetsche reportedly gave the signal to produce the Mercedes-Benz CLC. This is in 2014, after the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake is confirmed to roll-off the assembly line of the company's Sindelfingen plant in 2012.

The CLC Shooting Brake will have a smaller body and will have a reduced price than the more luxurious CLS version. Other than that, Automotive News said that it will be offered in diesel and petrol engines. The design, since it will be patterned after the Concept Shooting Brake, will have a stylish rear end and a curvy roof line.
