P.S.: Assuming that you somehow actually did graduate and, God forbid, are actually going to practice, I'm sure that the blown Pinto will look really nice in the parking lot of the Norco Community Clinic.

nada about speed. about handling. i don't think the most expensive mercedes (minus the slr) can outhandle a evo from the factory. no comparison. not all people like luxury, they like adventure..they like 2 experience sumthin different. and all this w/only a 30g pricetag. wow.
but like ppl said they're 2 diff groups
im sayin to all the haters of the evo BUY IT.
seriously
JUST BUY THE CAR and experience what you've never experienced before

Dr.Caliboy,are you getting yourself in hot water again? The CLS and Evo serve two entirely different purposes.Why would you compare them? 
One is a rally sports car turned street car and one is a Luxo Supersedan built to run on the Autobahn!
Finally,yes an EVO can be built to tear a CLS 55 up limb by limb in all street performance categories,acceleration,braking,handling but that is exactly what it was originally meant to do since the EVO lll.
No it does'nt cost 80K like an Audi RS4 but it does'nt have to.It is what it is with very similar performance.
Next time look at the EVO FQ400!There goes a very expensive EVO for you.
Something tells me that you were bored,knew all of this already,and was eager to start a thread out of boredom.Hey but I'm not mad at you! Good Luck with med school.I can't wait till you buy your spanking new Audi RS4 Dr.
Then the bashing willl begin! lol! Take care! :p OK back to Bimmerforums I go!

To add to the post I spend a good amount of time in a modded Evo. It's a fast and scary drive. It's also a mitsu that is made out of plastic, tin, and more plastic and tin. My budy loves the time spent in my C43. Solid bulid, comfort, smooth V8, and style. Not nearly as fast but then again I don't even have the chance to push the C43 to max around here. 90% of the time in the C43 I am on the breaks by the time my car is half through 2nd gear. The Evo is even more restricted. It needs a track.
There are so many inputs to the equation here. Personally the speed/handling factor is not enough to purchase an Evo or Wrx. Those cars just scream highschool to me with the dumb wing and all. Buy a porsche if you want a race car. The complete Benz package sans a little speed outweighs this through many other avenues from interior layout, to build materials, and longevity etc....Different Cars.

So how could the EVo body be made out of tin?LOL!
Your killing me! There are things a MB wishes it could do in the handling dept like An EVO or M3 and there are certainly things that the two cars mentioned wish they could do like an MB. Funny thing is I own all three! W202 AMG C43/55,BMW M3,Talon TSI AWD.P.S .I don't know about you but Not everyone can afford a Porsche!

So you're a pain broker huh, wow that's actually not a bad job. Lot's of filing and HMO paper stuff huh. Kinda has the same stigma as being a male nurse. I'm impressed though, most med school rejects don't even make it that far. Good for you buddy, I'm glad things worked out.
BTW: how many years did you waste before you realized you could'nt get in? Did you try Dental school? Or D.O school? Perhaps that may have worked out for you.
(No offense to any dentists, future dentists, D.O.'s, or nurses out there. I actually know some very smart people making excellent money in these two fields!
) Just having some fun with your boy Vomit up there. lol!

Are you any good. How many years have you been doing this? Would like your point of view on your side of the medical field. We should talk for real some time. Seriously, I always like to see every angle of the medical field since I'm going into it, not to mention that they don't teach us lawsuits and stuff like that in medical school. I know your job mostly deals with personal injury, but I'd still like your lawyer input on say anything you know about avoiding lawsuits when I get out. Very interesting job you have there.
Oh back to the jokes I guess since most were enjoying it.......lol!
Vomit's mom is soooooo FAT that when she rolled over in bed she was in another state.

Amazing all I did was compare the power on my CSL to my old car 05' EVO MR
and this is what it turned into... "Let me say sorry" I did not want this to be a battle of EVO vs. CLS All I was comparing is acceleration. The truth is a CLS is the balers EVO - we - (I say that still being an EVO guy a heart) purchased the EVO because it is the baddest stock car (for the money) on the road not including all the easy horse power upgrades available. Well with that said I sold it because I was getting pulled over 2 or 3 times a week only to be harassed and also a 29yrs old guy driving an EVO to pick up a date or take out clients and getting pulled over every block just didn’t work out for me. So the next option was to buy the very baddest car on the road the CLS55 it has class like no other and still can hang with just about any car on the street including most EVO's.
sense I am on the subject of the EVO - for all you ignorant guy saying that the EVO is a cheaper car --=STOP=-- The EVO cost me far more than the CLS I was spending about 1500-1800 a month on upgrades and that does not include running 110 leaded fuel everywhere I drove @ $7.00 per gallon
Yes you may say that is foolish spending that kinda money on a EVO but driving is truly my passion.
So once again I am sorry for my original post, yes I made the comments about the CLS having many problems and not being as fast (0 to 110) but that only cuz MBservice sucks compared to other luxury dealers I have dealt with in the past - I couldn’t get in to see a service rep when a 100k car is already having problems @ 3k miles… I hope everyone understand the original post now.

WHy is this even being compared
Evo 8 MR is a 13 second car High 12 with a good driver. Maybe a high 12, CLS55 is a 12.5 second and lower car. Not to even mention if these two go from a role how bad it would be for the AWD Evo.

Back on to the thread topic...
I saw a black CLS55 with black wheels/chrome lip at Mountasia in Canyon Country (kid's birthday party) last weekend. Man, what a gorgeous car!
I just don't get the comparison to the Evo. Yes, they both have 4 doors and run similar 0-60 times but, beyond that, they are night and day. Actually, if one wanted a cheap "sort-of comparable" for the CLS55, I would vote for the SRT-8.
