My Ride: 10 Melbourne Red X6M
Default

Last Thursday, we picked up my girlfriend's new CLS500. The car is actually preety nice and in contrast to my car, I think it makes for a very nice pairing. My car is the strong agressive man and hers is the pretty refined woman haha. The car drives really well and I like the I love the exterior styling also.



Oh yea, it comes with AUX STANDARD with the sound package.

It is almost as bright as regular. I have light tint so it doesn't block out the light.

The interior of the CLS rocks.

By the way, was your girlfriend also considering the 2-door sedan MB is putting out next year - the SCL500?
