It looks good. I don't like the side mirrors though... I bet those tail lights at night will look awesome.

I agree about the silver... Definitely does not look good, but I don't think many cars do (except for Aston Martin and maybe Maserati)... But it does look pretty nice in red!!! Looking forward to seeing the AMG version... Ultimately, I'm still looking forward to seeing the new S Coupe 65.....

I think that the Airmatic suspension must be in the raised position in this picture.

The red one looks good, the silver terrible.

That's funny. Is he on location at some of the productions you work at?

I agree, but I think the red one looks good 'cause we aren't seeing it from the side view. Those creases and the W212 arched wheel wells look bad on the CLS, imho. At least from the side.

Yes for years as you can see from the pic. The retired guys provide traffic control. It is a fairly small group of officers. I work on Criminal Minds and we film all over Los Angeles, even Frazier Park. lol

I agree enough with the bumps, front looks great but the bumps screw the line of the car.
