My Ride: 530iA Silver Grey , black interior. Premium Package, Navigation System, Head-up Display, Radio Satellite, Adaptive Xenon Headlights. AC Schnitzer Front Lip, H&R springs, Rear red reflector, All season Floor mat,
CLS looks really good and sporty. I'm thinking to order CLS500 soon as i'm giving my E60 to my sis. But i heard the engine are all the same as E500. Anyone drove E500 before and how it feels like ? Or do you guys think 645ci will be a better choice? I have a buddy just bought the 645ci so i doubt of getting the same car as him. i test drove his car and 645ci drove just like 545i.

This Merc has got an identity chrisis! What's it suppose to be, an E class replacement? an S class by product? 4 doors mean a sedan but Merc is marketing it as a GT...??? So what is it??? Here in HK, Merc is comparing this car with the 6-series and Im like what??? 4 doors vs 2 doors??? I think this Merc will be a flop.
Btw, I think recent Merc line up is losing a "soul" (except maybe the SL). It's not taking any bold chances, too conservative and playing it safe. On the contrary, BMW is taking bold steps in its lineup design. Take the 7 for instance, everyone thought it was weird at its intro, now alot of people love it for its unique lines. MB, u need to work on your mojo or u'll be eating Bimmer dust (just compare profit results of MB & BMW). Just my 2 cents.
Bunbun.
