Drove a CLS55 AMG for the first time!!

I had driven an E55 AMG (211) before but the CLS55 AMG is from another dimension. The combination of the amazing sounding exhaust and the style make it a dream car! The power seemed the same though the handling seemed better. but the sound from its exhausts and engine are really something else!! louder and stronger sounding than the E55. WOW! I don't know how you guys who own them feel when driving them everyday, it must be one of the best feelings in the world for any car nut!

I'll post some pics later. It was a Carneol Red Metallic with Cashmere Nappa Leather combo.

I've had mine about two weeks now. Overall it's the most perfect car I've ever driven.

Also had mine for about a month now, and i constantly find myself with an ear to ear grin while driving it, lately i've been crusing around with the passenger window cranked down just a slight bit with the car in manual mode just to hear the exhaust notes.

Currently owning both the E55 and CLS55, no doubt that the CLS55 gives out the exhaust note one would expect from an above average priced vehicle. However, the E55 still holds its own. I love both vehicles and its always a toss up as to which vehicle I like most.

Hands down, CLS55 w/030 option. It is amazing reading some of these comments from people who says there isn't much of difference in handling between the these two cars. Until they have consistently driven both vehicles for a long period of time, they truly are not speaking from an objective point of view. BTW if you are ever in Vegas, PM me and I'll let you decide for yourself.

Had mine since December.

I still haven's heard what it sounds like from the outside. Inside is pure sex.

Was out with the wifey eating and had the car parked out front. A group of ladies came in and one (the best looking one) asked the bartender who owned the car out front. He pointed at us...

She went berzerk... "That is the BEST looking car I have ever seen and I don't even like cars." "I never comment on cars but that is outrageous!!!!"
"What is it???" "Where did you get it???" "OMG!!!" "Will you and your wife do me!!???" (Well I had to throw that one in)

I get that king of response everywhere I go.
I thought those days were over when I sold the Ferrari

I just cannot say enough good about the car!

Still don't know what it sounds like from the outside.....

Partial truth Kevin

The wifey is a chick magnet even without the car. I've just learned to live with it

So, wait, you went to the dealer just to drive the car, with absolutely no intention of actually getting it? Sounds like something a 19-year-old would do. (But, I'll bet it was fun. )
