Just bought 2007 CLS63...pics inside...

Well, I just did a test drive today and left with the car. I got $3400 off sticker, so I think I did good. Anyway, I absolutely love it. It's taking some getting used to coming from an E55 and Z06; but man, I tell you what, it feels sluggish from 1-2500rpm's, then all the sudden it feels like a freaking turbo just kicked in. Definately would not hang with E55/CLS55 from dig, but from a roll, look out, cause it ROLLS! LOL, man I sound like I'm 12 I'm so excited.

Anyway, it's Alabaster White with Ash Interior. It has the P2 package and Electric trunk closer. Here are a few pictures...


PS- I will be putting it on a dyno here in the next few weeks. I'll post that up for you all.















Also, here is a quick clip of what it sounds like for those who care...ENJOY!

Appreciate it!

Also, are green filters available for the CLS63 yet? Anything preformance wise yet?

CLS63 AMG
MHaynes772,

That is the exact color combo I was looking at. I test drove one last week and was surprised that I actually really really liked it too. (currently E55).
I will post my impression on my test drive after I get home tonight.

Great looking car. Those are the wheels I saw on them too. But, on the AMG web site, they were different. Whats the deal?

MHaynes772,

When I took the test drive with my salesperson in the car (210lbs extra), when I floored it, the ESP did not flash. Just go, no drama. When it shifted from 1st to 2nd gear, the ESP flashed. I think it did that from 2 to 3rd too.

Can you tell me if you can spin the tires just by flooring it with ESP on? That would tell me if I want the LSD as the performance option or not. I don't take corners fast so the LSD would only be used for the launch. But what I remember, no wheel spin with me and my salesperson.

Yeah, I get a little wheel sping in first when it starts getting around 5500-6000rpms. Then 1st-2nd gear I get the flashing light also, but not 2nd-3rd.
