2012 Designo Zircon Red CLS63 vs 2007 Mars Red CLS63

New vs. Old. Of course I like my version, but the new is starting to grow on me. What do you think?

How many Mars Red CLS's were made? This is the first time I'm seeing one in this color. Both look sensational. I'm thinking my next car once the G37s goes will be the pre-2012 CLS63 - can't afford the new one just yet lol

I have only seen (online) one other AMG in Mars Red and it was a CLS55. Of course these were special orders since Mars Red is not a standard paint color for the CLS. I'm with you on letting someone else take the initial hit on the new car. I don't think I will ever buy new again.

Both are great looking cars.. I'd be happy with either. And with your new stablemate for it, there's nothing to complain about!

However... I'd recommend two things.. a set of rims, and clear side markers..

I have always been in love with mars red..it looks good on every benz I have seen it on. I'm not a fan of this new zircon red..it looks too subtle. I mean if I am going to get a red CLS I want a little splash.
