I like it really well. I'll be considering it next time around.
Looks like m5's indy red
i hate the rear and the head room(so fcking low!)
It probably isn't quite that red. I did some photoshopping because all my photos of darker cars were underexposed. I took some liberties with their colors in the end. No one ever sits in my rear seats. And, if they do, then they'll just have to suffer if what I drive so dictates.

I always say, the one who writes the checks calls the shots. If you don't like it, get the %*#& out!

Regarding the color of this particular model...
Would not even consider that color, or any shade of Burgundy for that matter, in a million years. I like Mercedes' earth/neutral colors. For example, that champagne-ish color, iridium silver, alabaster white.

The CLS55 is shown below







I think it looks very nice. Really sporty.

I agree...the car looks even better in person. I'm seeing more of the CLS on the streets too!

I forgot where I read it, but it is using the E-class chasis but the body itself is lower and wider. A formula I always wish I could have in a sport sedan.

Funny thing is, I didn't like the car when it was first introduced but absolutely love the style now. The same was true with the debut of the e60.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

I hate mercedes and I own a 05 530 but im sorry I think I would go for the CLS500 over a 545. I think it looks very nice. Although its only a dressed up chrysler =/

I am looking for a new car, but dunno how to decide, i really like the interia of the cls, the font of the cls is ok, but i dun really like the back. I really like the 5 series overall, but when u compare the interia, i think that the cls looks better. So its a hard decision...
I agree with you. Im in the same position. I test drove both cars yesterday and Bmw was better in driving dynamics but the White CLS500 was just too nice with the AMG body kit. I dont know what to get too. Still deciding.

How much were they asking for the CLS 500 with the AMG kit?

I wanted to lease the CLS500 with amg kit and every single option on the list. This car had all the options Mb offerrs its original price was 82 g's but the car was a trade in for the new S550 so the CLS had 1800 miles which is nothing if your leasing the car. With 6k down the payment was $875 a monthfor 48 months. THe owner was paying 1600 a month with i dont remember how much down so its like half the price of what he was paying for a car that has 1900 miles and the car was in excellent condition. The guy purchased it a month ago and when he saw the S550 he wanted that. It was a steal deal it was soo beautiful in white.
