WINNER - MERCEDES-BENZ CLS:
The very best of Merc's bold but elegant new design theme wrapped around a practical package.
There are body creases for Africa here, but we love the dare-to-be different style.
The CLS is based on an everyday E-Class but with a body that could take a starring role in a Fast and Furious movie.
If you've got the cash, get the snarling AMG version which heightens the experience with ridiculously badass rims, low-profile tyres and other rip-snorting aesthetics.
PRICING: R793 000 - R1 319 500
