Mercedes is going to kill the CLS Shooting Brake after the first and only generation according to recent reports.

Mercedes axed the slick wagon out of the next CLS generation, despite the fact that the final design was approved, due to a significant lack of interest from the US and China markets.

The next CLS is expected to debut in 2018 but as Car magazine UK reports, there will be no replacement for the niche CLS Shooting Brake. The race of covering every possible corner of each segment appears to be over as demand slows down in key markets.

This is really sad because the CLS Shooting Brake is one of the coolest wagons in the market, especially in 63 AMG trim, where it combines the best of many worlds under a beautiful body.

Are you sure Mercedes?
