I used to HATE the CLS until I drove a CLS350 in Japan and rode in a CLS55. I think it was one of the first Mercedes I finally thought was a nice MB after the "cost no object" theme was discontinued in the early 90s.

But to replace the GS...yes, I would love to get a CLS63 is I can afford it.

This is one of the few cars designs that will naturally turn heads. I was looking at getting one of these bad boys untill I searched the MB forums.

Its pretty scary how many TSB and unfortunately typical electrical gremlins this car has. Not all of them, but it appears from the complaints on the forum that it is quite a few cars. I would love to own one of these cars, but I am too spoiled with the lex to take a risk on the Merc.

The MB dealer down the street from me also NEVER has a used CLS on the lot. Is it supply? Or do they know the CLS might **** off customers after they buy them? I think it may be both... Its a pretty rare car.

Let the flaming begin...

Used to the love it, but not as much now, the design has cooled on me, & I don't like the facelifted version. It's still a head turner for sure, but now I think I would want the next E-class 2-door coupe instead.

And if you think modding the Lexus is costly, wait until you see the prices for MB parts. Plus there is really not a lot of options (compared to the options for the GS) for modding.
