I NEED!!! 2012 CLS 63 AutoBlog Review

I love what Mercedes has done with this car. I'm thinking that this ride will be in high demand even with a $100,000.00+ base. Sign me up.

I love everything about it. This car will do very well. I still like the mean look of the original CLS headlights Vs the new. Made the CLS look like a very angry car.

Beautiful interior, but it looks like a Designo Mocha Package at a cost of $10,000 plus! Mercedes used to have two tone interiors at as a no cost option.

I just can't get over the rear S-class bulge over the rear fenders...the squared off look to the tail pipes (Acura TL) is even worse.

At the end of the day is it an improvement over the outgoing CLS63?....Yes. Is it worth a $100k+ upgrade for existing owners?....No.

just my opinion

Don't forget the cost of:

1. Carbon Ceramic Brakes $10,000.
2. Performance Pack $10,000.

More like a $135K car.

Even better, wait a year or two and get a CPO SLR or SLS for that amount.

I love everything about this car and I'm already starting to save for it ! the only thing... the pipes... I don't like squared pipes either on this model. I would definitly keep the dual double ovals one. but Eisenmann or Brabus will surely make new pipes =D
