Very quick for sure..very expensive too. I sat in a CLS the other day at the dealer and it was awesome, great quality and design. I think that people will run high 11's soon(time will tell). Once a tuner release a tune for this car we will probably see traps of mid to high 120's.

Absolutely love this car. Will be interesting to see what the new E63 will run. It's roughly 150 kg/300 lbs lighter than the CLS but packing the same punch. Now that will be a monster.

Had a chance to drive this on the track (performance event) and oh boy... This would be a perfect family car.

In my humble opinion the CLS63 looks much better then the Panamera Turbo - especially with it's fugly looking rear.

The Turbo S is another $30k...

The lines on the new CLS63 are gorgeous.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I don't know how the two cars compare in weight, but the Panamera sure looks like it's got a big ***...and it's not even an attractive one.

MB has a couple of colors that are fairly similar to the color you see above.
Steel grey and Palladium Silver.

lol, I haven’t bought a used car in forever but I will second this request because I would love to have this toy but I definitely can’t afford this beast at MSRP.
