I got to take my dad's friend's CLS 55 for an hour today!!!

My dad's friend/neighbor works for Mercedes and He gets a new car every week! This week, he brought home a silver CLS 55 AMG. After he and my dad went golfing I stopped him and said I have to get a good look at this car....he said "take for a while!"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME...."NAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I heard you and your dad talking about it, so thats why I brought it home!"

Needless to say, I had the thing for about an hour....I WANT a CLS 500 now. I know they are $70, so they probably drop $10K in a year.....the Cobra is paid off.....HMMMMMMMMMMMMM????

The CLS500 is a snore compared to the 55, you won't be remotely as impressed.

Isn't he 26? Or am I missing something? Chances are, I'm missing something.

Nobody would say that, if you're in your high 20's.....you can get away with driving a $90k car.

These days, you never know people's situations.

AMG > almost *

I saw a CLS in the parking lot today at my work and thought to myself - This is what the CL Type S should have looked like. No picture will ever justify what this thing looks like in person. Every little line just looks so in place.

Mercedes > BMW when it comes to new model looks.

Why wait? Just go down to your local MB dealer........most have a fair # of CLS500's on the lot.

Not to mention they are giving out test drives on them without much of an issue.

Simply put, because I want to be in Dominican Republic! I am not a huge fan of the MB CLS but still think it's My comment was more on the level that I want to be in the DR and see his car (just a bonus).

Yes, after reading your statement again.....that makes sense.

The DR is a nice place, been there once (lot's of lizards and naked people on the beach).

Its a bit generic, especially the standard CLS500 (sport package is a must imho). The back of the 55 is more exciting than the 500 overall.

There is an AMG performance package available soon on U.S. cars for the CLS55 (code 030)......like a $9,500 option.

I don't care how "ugly" you guys think this car is, I think it looks amazing in person. I did a double take...about 4 times. It's a perfect mix between not too flashy and classy.

Trust me, if someone in their 20s is driving a 90k car, they come from a wealthy family. The reason? You have to have a rich man's mentality in the first place to even consider buying a 90k car, and thinking it's normal. If someone started off with nothing, but worked hard and was fortunate enough to earn a large amount of money in a quick few years, he probably wouldn't spend it on a 90k car right away. There is a difference between being able to afford a car and actually getting it. (hey, I'm 22 and I can technically pay off a 90k car with my after-tax salary in 2 years, if I *really* wanted to, but why would I?)

I've sat in one before; love everything about it except for that faux wood dash. That dash looks so cheap.

My boy picked up a black CLS55 about a month ago and the car is very stunning in person. We went out clubbing in it and gold diggers were all over him.

What did I say? You never know what a person's situation is these days.

1. Wealthy family/and or inheritance.
2. Won it in a contest
3. Won the lottery
4. Sold a company
5. Stole it
6. Makes a good living (mid 20s its possible).


In the end, it doesn't matter how the car was paid for (stealing aside).........that person is driving a CLS55 (or whatever $ car) and chances are the guy at the light next to them isn't.
