Exclamation I am a huge fan of the Benz CLS.

Anyone else? I think we had a thread in the past about it and I wanted to talk about it. Even in stock form (we don't get the CLS 350 here) it looks great.

It really really reminds me of the GS back in 1998-2001 as both cars look just original. With all the GS look alikes around, my car no longer feels as special and the CLS IMO looks fantastic with nothing else on the road like it.
Stock

AMG 63


Prices have come down into the 40s for those interested. Of course quality would be a concern but IMO, the interior is also different to most anything else.

Fantastic car!

I love the CLS's design and look.

I actually thought of getting one a year ago instead of the LS.

I'm happy (and sad) to hear that the resale value is quite approachable.

i think the car is just too sexy to drive... it's like a rolling piece of art. when they're lowered with nice wheels, i melt.

Of course. The CLS is an incredible looking car. We've had numerous threads already dedicated to it. I keep finding new things about the design that grabs my attention.





(I still love this IS-F like blue model. )






Just like the GS, there will be TONS of CLS knock-offs not even 2 years from now.

I love the exterior but for some strange reason after I test drove the cls I fell out of love with the car. The car absolutely look better than my CL but the interior in my car is on another level compare to the cls.

I totally agree with you! This car looks great. I'm actually considering getting a CLS63 instead of an S550 or an LS460L. Anyone have any idea what the gas mileage is on the CLS63?

One of my favs too. Even in stock form, I still have to snap my neck around everytime I see one.
