This West Coaster HAD NO PROBLEM!
Brav - I sat in the CLS at Brabus and drove a CLS at Fletcher Jones and had no problems in either car hitting my head on the roof, or feeling cramped, and I am 6'2" tall. My buddy, who is 6'3" tall, and was with me on each occasion, also had no problems with there not being enough head room in the CLS. Can't understand your problem, however each of us has their own way of positioning themselves behind the wheel, so I guess your just not a CLS kinda Guy.

I was disappointed to say the least!
I was thinking the CLS55 would be logical lateral move from my E55. After just sitting in the CLS I instantly changed my mind.
The CLS is a great looking car, but it is just not for me!
And I thought my XJR had a low roof!

UPDATE!
I changed my mind on the CLS.
I played with a CLS55 a few days ago...I walked away with a much different opinion! I guess The car was able to chance my first impression!
I managed to put the seat in a great location for driving and comfort.
As for the visibility issue...it has less than some other cars, just no less than a sports car.
I am officially putting the CLS55 back on my "possible replacement of the E55 list!"

[QUOTE=Brav] my hair hits the headliner. I'm pretty sure I had the seat all they way down.
Well it seems to me that your hair is the problem! Isn't it steel blue and a foot high on top? LOL

Seriously....good luck with the car shopping. Check out EBAY again for the 55's. I found a few on there last week.
