Goodbye E300, Hello CLS 53

Picked up new toy last night. CLS 53, Diamond White/Bengal Red/Grey Ashe. Big step up from the E300. Will post better pics later.

Congrats to you!
canyou speak a little bit to the differences in ride? I’m sure the CLS builds on the sportier side but how much so? Thanks!

cheers and enjoy.

Yes sportier, but good ride in comfort mode. Overall, the best words I could use to describe the difference are more solid and meatier. Starting to have some fun. Acceleration is great. Loving the car so far.

How is acceleration in comfort mode? The CLS 450 does not come alive until it is in sport mode

I take it that lovely red interior is a little stronger color than the picture. It seems to me that Bengal red can be difficult to photograph. Never have seen it in person. I've only seen pictures, and they all seem different to me.

Definitely seems peppier in sport and brutal (in a good way) in sport+. Still in break in period, so not pushing too hard.

To me it’s a softer red than in the previous generation. Beautiful though.

Just picked up my CLS 53 Friday. I traded my 18 E43 for the CLS. The new propulsion system is superior. I loved the E but this is something to a new level.
