Just the steering precision and the sharp handling make it a hella fun car to drive.
I know what you mean
My C32 had evosport headers and a Eurocharged ECU/TCU tune and it was a blast to drive. A rough ride but it handled like it was on rails.
The TCU tune combined with the headers made it sound maserati like.

As much as I like the look of the C63, the CLS just lights my fire so much more.





don't get me wrong, i LOVE having the Wagon, one of the rarest AMG cars MB Made, but It lacks a certain look, a flashiness that the CLS really brings to the table.

SL for sure.


Hopefully I don't get banned but I simply do not care for the look of the CLS.

I think the CLS is a beautiful car, but for me it is impractical. I tried getting in the back seat and I ended up hitting my head on the roof.

Love the space and need humongous power, so I'd probably go with an S65...
