yes! I'm sure TDwanye, I get thumbs up, head shakes (up and down not side to side)


there are not many rides that look as good.....despite there being many similar 'shaped' cars......the four door coupe thing....
I love pulling up next to those hydais and kias that look like our cars

We'll, I have had my car for 2 years now. I look around and see nothing else I fancy. If I change car, I will probably buy a newer CLS63! That's why I am pimping it up starting now. Car's been stock apart from a tune.

I can say, without hesistation, that I clearly miss the visual appeal of my CLS63TT. Although its been gone for almost 2 years I still love the wide rear fenders and sloping roof line.

I still think you had the only one that tried 21's Vic? HRE still has your CLS on their catalog and site too
it was a nice one; it was lowered wasn't it?

Next to the Porsche, the most visually stunning car I have ever owned. And probably the most aggressive exhaust note (headers, reasonator delete and Brabus exhaust).

Yes, I had the 21's on it for all of a day for a photo shoot and then the black P40S for the photoshoot. It was lowered via KW HAS set up in the front and links in the rear.

I do love my CLS as well. The matte color is a big attraction.
Nice pic Vic. Saw on your sig that you have an R coupe. I am really interested in this car as I would like to go back to a lighter car.
Care to give me your feedback on it.

yeah okay, we're going to need to see some Jag shots Vic so give 'em up,


always been a Jag fan, until the latest design came out a few years ago, but the F's are
nice looking, wasn't nuts about the cabin layout though....


have you had a Jag before this one?

No jag before. I am fully aware of the horror stories about reliability and electrical gremlins. I usually do not keep cars past the OEM or CPO warranty point. I have been on the jag forum a bit and it does not seem the F type is getting a bad rep.

Still like my cls but i'm falling in love with a few others. The jag R is one of them...the sound and throttle response are just amazing...not crazy about the light steering though. I may make a move later this year.

I thought the steering was actually great with clear feedback, and as it should felt like I was driving a much lighter vehicle.
I am not willing to pay MSRP so looks like I may have to wait a little as the F type is selling well.
The new Z06 is also a contender but have not driven a new vette yet. I need to stop by a Chevy dealer so that I can be reminded how bad the service is at this place lol.

I think a lot of guys would put up with the discomfort for the sake of vette driving......I've only been behind the wheel of a classic stingray a buddy if mine has: pedals are so small, so close together......pretty difficult to drive.....not to mention the 12 feet of hood one needs to see over

there was a time when ride/comfort was waaaaaaay down on the totem pole and performance was everything, well not so much anymore, still like performance but not at the expense of comfort, that's one of the reason's I like MB cars, besides the safety innovations

quite true; when I was ready to start buying better cars, I thought: okay, who has a V8? now who has nice looking V8's?


that led my to Mercedes Benz
