IMHO.... our cls are more for the old folks. I'm 36 and yes, that's pretty old to some of my friends. Just noticed alot of younger kids are into my cls. hmmm.....I guess we are just a bunch of cool old guys.

Yes...we are that. Cool.
I see you have an NSX in your stable, that is definitely cool too.

Nsx is in a different world. It makes you feel as though you are a super hero when driving. Not sure if it's cool to everyone. Got a thumbs down from a Dodge Charger driver the other day.

****, youre 36 (my age) and consider yourself old??
but i definitely think the younger crowd are generally more in tune with high end cars than older folks anyway, since most older folks probably dont drive Mercedes. and when i say OLDER folks im referring to 55-75!
?

The NSX is a classic, looks awesome even today being years old. The new one is very appealing of course.

I'm 25 and have a CLS (C219) :P Loved the design when it first came out, actually at the time, it was the only Mercedes that I liked. I'm not a huge fan of the C218 design, but I still think it looks better than anything else in the 4-door coupe segment.

What!? no way..I think every young guy drools over the CLS(219 and 218)..they are just clamoring for that moment when they can be had at a more affordable prices
. I used to have a w211 and although I loved it, now that is what I consider an "old man's" car. I used to hate visiting the parents, they used to tease me about it (told me they loved my trunk because it had a lot of room for a walker and a depends diapers dispenser...lol). But in general I see way more older people driving Mercedes. The first thing I think when I see them is "old money" though..lol. When I see young folks driving, it's usually the C class.

I think it's universal... Young and old, people like this car. I'm the youngest manager at my branch, but everyone seems to dig the C218. And all the older guys give me hell about borrowing it. They keep telling me "so that's what not having kids or being married gets you."![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Then again I can imagine what's running through peoples minds when I step out of my CLS because of my age.

That's funny you should ask that we were just laughing about that today. Depends on the month and type of product the sales guy is selling.

ha yeah, i might have figured.
so i guess, if the sales guy has a good month he could beat you. but if not... he probably wouldnt eh?

2012 CLS 550
Im 27 and I believe this is mostly a younger persons car. My uncle went to buy one a few months ago. He changed his mind and decided to go with the s class for the same price. My dad still tells me its a nice car but the S class is nicer.

maybe the new SL is nicer, but nah... not the S.
