211-55
I agree and disagree with fullthrottle on some points. An E55 is lighter than a CLS55. From the MB site, they already have the CLS550 at 4045 lbs. There's no way the CLS55 could be near that if you consider its heavier brakes, wheels, exhaust, and the s/c. On the 0-60 times, some magazines and web sites have the E55 at 4.1 - 4.2 seconds. This stat really depends on the driver, testing method, and conditions so I take all 0-60 stats with a grain of salt. Lastly, I think the CLS looks better.

I am also right in my above statement when I said get a life. You have been on this forum for about 6 months and in that time you have posted over 600 times. That comes to over 3 posts a day every day 7 days a week!!!!!! Good grief man don't you anything better to do then spend hours everyday looking for opportunities to bolster your ego by attacking other people. I would say from the above comments by others that you are indeed a "tool" and you have finally been called out on it.

COALMAN YOU ROCK!!!!!! Very well said....Shame the guy cant handle it!!!

here you go dunce cap



It looks like the CLS is quicker 0-60 as well, now go push your mop.
That's mis- or dis- information as both counts are patently untrue. The CLS is heavier, less aerodynamic and has been documented as slower than the E-Class equivalents on multiple occasions.
