Photo Comparison: My C218 and C257 CLSs
At the top is my current 2019 Polar White CLS53 (C257) in the Tetons, Wyoming. At the bottom is my 2012 Diamond White Metallic CLS63S (C218) in Kayenta, Utah which I traded for a 2016 GTS. The CLS63S was a beast (11.8 sec. quarter mile) and I think it looks better but it did not have any of the safety features included in the CLS53's Driver Assistance Package. What do you think?

Sorry to viewers of this post -- It is embarrassing to start this thread and not have the photo with the text. Apparently my VPN was preventing posting photos.

Yeah I like the swooping lines of your old car better but the new one's certainly no slouch.

I love the C218 body lines, but the 257 looks a little less ponderous and still very stylish.
