OPENERS USTREAM: CAR

Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG & Audi A7

In-Car Impressions by Satoshi Watanabe!

OPENERS CAR will now deliver impression videos via USTREAM. This is to convey the appeal of cars, which is difficult to capture through photos and text alone, through live, engaging footage. This is the first installment.—The "Mercedes-Benz CLS," a four-door saloon that debuted in 2005 with a sleek, coupe-like body, created a new market for four-door coupes. The second generation, the new CLS, arrived in Japan this February. In May, Audi launched the "A7," a five-door hatchback with a similar concept. Acclaimed automotive journalist Satoshi Watanabe test-drives these stylish four- (or five-) door coupes that are currently capturing attention, and here are his in-car impressions.
