The 2009 Mercedes CLS 550 Coupe: At least Mercedes has one hot car
Dude. Seriously. How sweet is this vehicle for a Benz? I nearly break my neck whenever I see one these vehicles on the road. If I had one of these, the only thing I would covet would be the BMW-5 Series vehicles.
The Mercedes-Benz website doesn't even list the retail price yet. I'm could probably trade in my house for one. Amazing product design. The clean lines are amazing.
Iconic. A sensuous example of steel as poetry, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 Coupe is an unmatched combination of style and substance. Refinements include a 5.5 liter 382-horsepower 32-valve V-8 engine, leather upholstery and hand-polished wood trim, and 7-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift.MSRP: TBA
5.5L 32-valve V-8 engine - 382 hp @ 6,000 rpm
I actually don't like how it looks. The portion of the car from the trunk to the top of the car is too much of a straight line for a luxury, non-sports car. The specs are pretty sick though...

On the bright side, it's mileage is just as good as that of Lexus' hybrid--at least on the highway where I do most of my driving.

Tru dat, about those specs. Hey, if you'd like to buy me one as a Christmas gift this year. I'm totally down for that!! Black or silver!

but at least it looks like Tiger's car!
you know what would be cool about having that car? I could probably trade it for an M5....or even an M3, honestly.
