Exclamation Uncle's New Car Just Came In... OMG!

Not my Uncle... But a Z Board member from Holland!

Since my uncle is loaded (He sold his buisiness for mad money), i go there every now and then and check out what he got now... OMG The new CLS 55 AMG with 500 bhp or something...

What do you guys think about it, it kinda looks to me like a MB E that got a mayor coupe overhaull...

I Drove it a little, and even though it is still in it's break in period, that thing is fast! Do you guys have this model over there yet?



This has to be one of the HOTTEST cars on Earth at the moment!

Looks hot Though it's begging for some chrome dished rims and a little lowering.

My God...Every time a car is posted here, almost without fail, someone automatically suggests rims and a drop. WHY?! Did you miss the AMG badge?! To each his own, I understand, but whatever happened to leaving well-enough alone?

For sure it's really hot in stock form with it's powerful engine and elegant looks, but the rims just don't fit the car, IMO. And of course if you put on nice rims its got to be complimented by a little drop, though not slammed. The car that I really like stock is the E55, I think it looks stunning in it's stock form.

It's all good, just a matter of taste like I said, but I personally couldn't imagine buying a car like that and changing anything.

tell your friend they just arrived, the other day when I pulled into the gas station a car carrier full of those pulled up next to me.

I hope these new cars have really improved quality or else Benz is really not worth the price

I haven't seen it in person yet, but from the pics, this new model is not doing much for me so far.

Man....! He wasn't kidding when he said his Uncle was "LOADED!"

Here's a few of his other cars: 550 (sweet color) and Bentley.

Although I love the look of the CLS...I'm a modder4life. Just gotta hook it up with wheels and a slight drop. This guy is my kinda guy. He also has the car that's my all time fave...the Maranello! Just love em.

not a great fan of the new look, but sweet.

ask your uncle to let you drive one around or give you one

TXSTYLE, tell your friend he should take out the licence plate on the Arnage in the last pic.
It is pretty easy to track down the owner that way for people with bad intentions.

I have to agree with you TXSTYLE, I also think it is the most beautiful 4 -door car that exists today!!!

Here are some pics I took at the Detriot auto show a couple of weeks ago:

I'd still take a CL500/55 over it easy, the shape/proportion of that car is far superior IMO. They are comparable because the CLS is a coupe with not so generous rear seat head room right ?
