Just got my first good look at a CLS500

Was driving down the 5 south around the PCH today and got my first good look at a CLS500...

I was absolutely amazed by its beauty. Awesome.. Pictures just do not do this car justice.

Congratulations to all you fortunate owners.

A friend who knew I ordered a CLS just saw his first one and called to say how incredible he thought it looked. The car is unique and draws some great reactions. Those who don't like it are certainly entitled to their opinion as well, as car designs will never satisfy everyone.

Interestingly enough Fletcher Jones sold their Demo Silver CLS last week, so it may be that one...

I saw three today at the local MB dealer. A silver, black, and dark metallic blue one.

They were all oh so stunning with the sports bodykit. I liked the way it looked it in pictures and when i saw the real thing... I just fell in love.

Stopped by to try to take another test drive this morning. FJ here sold their last demo yesterday.:-( Was still a worthwhile trip. About 80% sure on color choice now after browsing the lot for similar color combos that we were interested in.
