WOW!
I was definitely not expecting to receive feedback like this. Sorry for the delay, I was in Dubai with my family for a week during winter break for the kids.
I've came to a pretty sound decision. Actually I've already acted on my decision. We went to the dealership and drove a CLS550, CLS55 AMG, SL500, E550, and a C350. I told my son what he thought about the cars and of course he was still sure the the CLS55 AMG was his favorite. So I asked him which car would suit him best and the conditions under which hes going to drive and to my surprise he told me definitely not the CLS55 AMG. He told he that he would be happy with any of the cars for they all drove really smooth and the handling and manuverability was present and excellent in all of the cars. I was thinking of getting him the E550 but he said that older people drove that car, and he said he would be happier with the C350. So I bought him a C350 and said that he could do WHATEVER he wants to the car as long as the car doesnt exceed 300 horsepower and he said ok.
Thanks alot for the support and advice guys. It really helped me more than you guys could imagine. I'm going to show my son in a couple days the forum.

C 55
Absolutely the right decision. He will have great enjoyment with that vehicle. Also he will be able to work on it and learn the inner beast that is Mercedes.
In time he will then be able to upgrade models with a better understanding of how the car operates and what to expect.

CLS55 plus a few Ducati's
The new C class section of this forum has lots of ideas on how to dress the car up also. It will be interesting to hear his reaction to the comments posted herein.
