Just got my CLS63

Wow, wow, wow.

This is one of the best, "do everything" cars I've ever driven. I had an E55 a year ago and after reading everyone's posts about how this car has a "lack of low end grunt" etc compared to the 55 series, I was nervous if I had made the right decision. No doubts in my mind now. This thing is a screamer with plenty of low end power. I havn't had a smile like this on my face since the first time I drove my modded Porsche. All this with comfort, a/c seats, and every option. I'm in love.

cool dude

something about heritage and the way the car's been assembled has value to me and i love the fact that the E63 engine is NA which i always prefer over forced induction... and it's hand-built, designed from the ground up by AMG and not an MB engine strapped on with an SC

Is the CLS63 faster than the CLS55? I have heard mixed reviews on the 63's performance. I cant imagine why MB would release a new motor if it wasnt bigger and better??

I had an E55 and this car feels faster than the E55. Performance numbers are saying this car is faster but I don't know for sure. Maybe by a couple of tenths but nothing to write home about.

Alright, since Christian asked so nicely.




It's pretty dirty still, I havn't had a chance to do a full detail on it since it stopped raining on Saturday. I'll have better pics up in a few days.

ive heard the 55 FEELS faster due to the torque/supercharger surge but the linear power of the 63 is actually faster
