March 08, Motor Trend interview with Marco Andretti who said "I keep a Mercedes Benz CLS63 in Indianapolis-what a great motor, very torquey.
You might remember back in May 07 Marco said "a Mercedes CLS 63, which I love"
My point being, after a year this young man is still talking about his CLS63. I would guess that most 19 years olds in his income bracket would change cars on a whim... if they felt like it.

“I thought it would be fun to have a Ferrari, but I like my Mercedes,” he says of the high-performance 2006 CLS55 AMG.

“The AMG is more than a luxury car, it is fast. Once I drove this car, I was hooked.” The Merc was tricked out with a set of 20-inch rims and an aftermarket audio/video system.

What could Australia's most successful motorsports star possibly wish for? A Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 and a matching Eurocopter.
Mick Doohan worked hard to earn his fun. He spent 11 years putting his body on the line in the cut-throat 500cc World Championship motorcycle racing circus. He amassed an incredible five world titles in the sport's premier class despite receiving terrible injuries that left permanent scars.

“The CLS 55 AMG and the Eurocopter AS350 are a perfect match,” Doohan says. “They're at the high-performance end of their respective spectrums and, as you can see, they're a lot of fun."

“They both change direction quickly and accelerate with a fair bit of force. Sure, they're the same colour, but there are more similarities than just their paint finishes.”

Mick Doohan is an absolute legend. He is a big AMG fan. He did a Targa Tasmania Rally in an AMG. I think a few times (not sure) He also drove the Maybach Excelero on a deminstration lap before the Bathurst 1000 some years back.

Paul Wall favors big, easygoing rides like Lincolns and Caddies; even his new car, a Mercedes CLS55 AMG, rarely breaks the speed limit. "I'm not in a rush," he says in his Texas drawl. "Drive slow, baby."

CLS 55/63 is a great car. Drives very well, sporty, not as bulky as the S63/65 and a much fresher look than the E55/63.

But the car is getting killed in the wholesale market. Who knows why. You'll be seeing retail $50k CLS55's by next year. Wholesale price is already upper 50's.

Ken Block, X-Games and second place overall for the 2007 Rally America season
Ken completed the Rally America season in second place—pretty good for a “rookie” still just in his second full rally season. To cap off a good year, Ken also became a dad, hence the need for a “civilized” daily driver.
----------------------------------------------------
Let’s talk about your new daily drive—which is actually what we’re here for. Why the CLS?
Well, I had a Bentley Continental GT. Absolutely beautiful car, I really enjoyed it. The problem that I had with it was I’m not used to driving cars that get that much attention. Also, the fact that it was a two door car—that was actually my first-ever two-door car. So I got rid of it and I was looking to get a new four-door car. And I just really liked the CLS. It’s just…the lines of it are much more of an aggressive, sportier looking car, even with it being a four-door. And the CLS 55 is the best performing version of that car. I searched for one in black, found it, and bought it.
