Vadim,

If you get a chance to test drive it let us know your impressions on power and handling. I'd be very curious to hear your feedback on it.

p.s. Got your e-mail. No worries. Thx

Ok, as soon as I can make a seat that I can hang between both cars....

Open the windows.............

I will need two broom sticks to push the gas pedals......

Oh, oh.........what if one IS faster than the other......

I will fall............




Just kidding, I might be able to bring CLK63 and CLK-DTM to Crystal Cove on Saturday, than I will get my chance.

Doubt it. All they afre doing is biting into a little bit of BMWs market, but not much. The CLS ended up just being an early replacement to the E as far as sales go.

they are practically giving the E class away and are still holding price on the CLS

the only real new "body" is the CLK. All others are re-skins, including the Maybach S.

Oh I'm willing to bet you're dead wrong there, MBUSA will show at least a 20 percent gain in overall sales this month and the E vs CLS has been beaten to death. The E lost about 7K sales in 2005 compared to 2004 with the CLS, a new Lexus GS, Caddy STS, Audi A6 and Acura RL so I hardly think the E is in trouble and you really don't know where those 7K went, whether or not it was the CLS or the outside competition. The E will post big numbers this month along with the CLK, CLS, GL, and S-Class, bet on it. The remaing CLS500s are not going for sticker either, well only to those who're clueless about the CLS550 I guess. One thing the CLS is not though is a replacement for E-Class sales, the CLS is too impractical to do that.

Would love to hear what is quicker. I have a feeling the 63 will be quicker to 60 and 1/4 due to less tire spin and shorter gearing.. But after driving a cls55. I realy enjoy the tire melting, smoke screen causing, fishtailing power. if the 63 dont fishtail and melt the tires off without esp. I will be very extremely dissapointed.
