just got a '13 steel grey cls63----

with black interior, pp,p1++. this car looks like it 's moving even when standing still. traded in my '10 e63 blk on blk. it was of my favorite cars of all time, but it's time for sometihng different.

also auditioned a porsche panamaera gts and turbo(nahhhhhhh),and an Aston Martin rapide(too small).

the amg platform is just right for me.

now, any suggestions for some after market blck wheels?pics?

The P car new is at least 15% more expensive with a GTS and 50% more with the Turbo.
The AMG has the GTS beat and is a few ticks slower than the Turbo but a tune can change that.
The interior does feel more special than the Benz though and the exterior is a matter of personal preference.
I also decided to get the CLS (waiting for 2014 4matic).
Give us some pics will you?

that's great man, congratulations on the AMG......so no Raptide huh?
I was actually considering a trade towards one with my CLS, but decided to trade a Porsche instead....
so you didn't like the power of the Panamera? or was it styling?
I sat in one several times and just didn't/couldn't apprciate the view you know? felt big and bulky..although all the buttons were cool hehe...but again, didn't drive one....they have them as loaners at my local dealer haha....
now about those pictures.....
