And keep in mind, while most people here are hardcore M-B fanatics, most people really aren't car buffs (hence all the Camrys that are sold in this country). I don't think it will be a sales disaster. Basically (and sadly), slap a three-pointed star on anything and it will sell for just that reason.

I love the CLS. The True E class based Coupe, err coupe appearance. Either way its HOT! And the black one rock posted makes we weak in the knees.

CLS500 should be around 70,000 I think. just like the 6 series.

it's not a direct competitor for the 6-series. It's not even a coupe. It's just MB's attempt to gain more market share as BMW is doing that same w/ the X3, 1/2 series, and the 6 series which the other brand doesn't have these type of cars.

to me the 6 series coupe is more like a CL. then again the cabrio version of the 6 has no competitor in my eyes other than a SC430, but only similarity i see in those two cars is the useless backseat.

if you remember the first 6-series WAS based off the 7-series and the 8-series was sort of the 7 coupe too. It's just this generation they made the car w/ useless back seat, so IMO the 6 is still a CL fighter. Wait till the mags pit the CL55 against the M6 when it arrives.

either way, i don't bother to compare'em. The only match up i can think of are C32/C55 vs M3 vs S4, E55 vs M5 vs RS6 vs StypeR, XJR vs S55, M-roadster vs SLK32, and that's about it.

The CLS and 6 are competitors! They are going ot be similarly priced and coming off there midsize sedan platforms. I can say the C32/55 is not a vaild comparison the m3 since it is a Sedan! then the CLK55 is the best comparison with the m3. but there is a 20k diffrenece in price. its not going to work. Same with the 6 and CL. There is a 30k diffrence in price.

ouch!

i didnt mean in looks. i love the CL! i meant in overall funtion, large 4 seat coupe, just as the CL. the rear seat in the 6 is pretty useless though compared to the large rear seat of the CL.

and the 6 is more of a 5 series coupe too, but IMO is more 7 series sized. i again agree with frank, when comparisons are done in the mags, more than likely it will be CL verses 6, not CLK verses 6.
