Just delivered one of these badboys today..
Overall it's a sick car....It's got so many features, I can't possibly see someone using them all. This car was the Designo Launch edition car, it's got almost every option on the car, including the night vision and the cruise control. The seat has the air bladders built in to them, when driving into a turn, it inflates the side your body is leaning into for additional support. It also has the massage function too, among a crap load of other options...$100,675 MSRP. It replaced the S500 that's parked next to it. Overall

CLS 6MT Navi
When I first saw this design last year, it was a silver one sitting in the bright Texas sun last summer at the dealer. I was struck by the design, it was so blindingly bright, the car looked surreal, dreamy. It had a real presence.
As I've seen more of them, I find my amazement has dimmed and I think they will date pretty quickly, almost a little too gaudy and Buick-Riviera like. The dealer has an odd colored purple? one outside now, looks garish.
I still love the current MB coupes, (but not the little girly one).

Agreed! I'm sure its a technological wonder but I think it looks horrible. The giant fender flares just look way out of place to me like they were tacked on.

My apologies, I thought it was a different model. the one above is very different design. I couldn't tell from the first picture.
I thought we were talking about the CLS500, picture below.

I am not feeling the crypto-Maybach lines on the new S-class. Although Lexus is as proficient with imitation as it is with build quality, I like the new Lexus LS better. After seeing the S class, 7 series, LS460 and others at this year's NYIAS, IMHO the LS is the benchmark.

Otherwise, the CLS is the one out of the MB lineup for me.

Flares look way overdone in all those pictures.
Interior and features though..

That smokeshow though, I wouldn't mind having her!
