Pics: Met up with a CLS55

Well, I managed to meet up with tomk today for lunch to check out his ride. I must say, this car is a thing of beauty. It is a very striking car and sticks out much more then my E55 (IMO). Anyway, had a nice convo, talked AMG among others, and got some pics of our rides together. Thanks again for meeting up Tom, I enjoyed seeing your car!

I'm not a fan. I saw one at the dealership and it looks very Taurus like.

I thought the same--especially from the back; however, the profile is very cool.

that is what I was thinking! I'm 6'3" and room is not a problem in front or rear seats. Does not look like a Ford ( and I did have a SHO for a few years)

I personally think the those particular HRE's are the best match aesthetically for the E55...gorgeous! The CLS is nice, too.

Your car blows the CLS styling away, no contest. The CLS looks like a big bar of soap or an overly done S-type Jag

The CLS looks great!! But I prefer the more conservative lines of the E55.

The CLS55 is the sickest new car on the road. Nothing comes close. Completely original.

im 6.0 and you had to slam the seat so youre head wouldnt hit then you could not put your arm on the window sill, it was at your ear. the back seats are non existant for adults, but for looks, i give it a 10+++++++++++++++++ i think thats the sportiest 4 door mbz has ever made

The fact that the top of the door panel is so high is much of the interior's appeal, you feel like your really deep in the car, like your wearing it!

In person the car looks amazing. The interior of the E looks a lot better IMO.
