Its looks are nothing special to me, I prefer the CL65 AMG over this any day. Better looks, bigger engine, what more could you want? Thats not to say I wouldn’t drive this if offered one for a day.

Johnny,

They worked for birdseed. I’m on the ground and the first one walks into frame, so I say great and fire a shot. I guess the strobe might have attracted the others because next thing I know, they are all walking through. Oh well. At least the car was white to start with!

Purely in terms of looks, give me a Maxima any day over the pure horror of this car, even with the weird fishhook headlights of the Nissan. Seriously, I’d be ashamed of driving around in a CLS. Plus the Maxima has the CVT, unlike the POS torque-converted auto of the Benz. When will Benz drop the freaking torque converter is anyone’s guess at the point…

I think its a cool car but the whole “four door sports coupe” moniker is a little over rated. Its more of a “four door sports sedan”. Besides, Nissan started this crap and they have yet to inspire people that they are the original innovators of the whole “four door sports coupe”. The Maxima is frikkin horrible looking and is super slow.

I can t seem to see any difference between the previous CLS and this one. The car has always had the love it or hate it look to it. The AMG rims make it a little more tolerable to look at. I really like the features on the inside. Lots of features with out being over done like the BMW idrive, one of those systems where you need to have a degree in computer engineering just to be able to work the damn thing.

Umm, for the S5 I don’t literally mean “even better”, I do mean better price/(beauty+perfomence).
Just making sure, I know 200 people are going to tell me I’m a retard if I hadn’t made the follow up post, so I figure I’d avoid wasting their time

That rear can only be described as “BUSTED”.
WTF was Mercedes thinking, plus when I see people driving it, it’s always women (at least in the DC region) and they obviously are rich/over 40/chilling at speed limit in the left lane. Basically, the worse mix of attributes I can think of. Guess women like the look of that thing, but as for me, I’d much rather go for the CLK Black, or even better, the S5.

Did you know that Cyclops have problems with depth perception? This defect sometimes prevents them from fighting villains, and always prevents them from doing well playing blernsball.

Mark, speaking of crap, how much did you have to pay your fine feathered entourage? They performed well, but they’re probably the last thing a CLS63 owner wants to see near the car.

I think the interior is Mercedes at its best. The exterior had better days
