where's the 3-pointed star? Isn't this the "S-Class Coupe"?

This kit as more difficult than others we've done because of the way the "bumpers" were made. The BRABUS bumpers were only add-on pieces and the stock bumpers had to be cut and then the BRABUS bumpers be attached over the stock bumper. However if you do everything correctly the bumper look like they're molded out of a single piece. There is no seal sealer, etc excess coming out from under the edges of any of the panels, etc. Take a look at the kit, the work and let me know what you think about everything. Id really like to hear some feedback about this car. if you do like it then why? if you dont like it then why? what would you do differently? I hope you guys and girls like these picutres. It took a lot of work, a lot of stress, and a lot love to make something that looks this mean.

in my opinion you cannot group the S, CL and CLS class together. i do not really like the CLS but ive driven it too and i the CL and S class cars are so much more luxurious and just better all around. if i had to choose between the CL, S, and CLS then i would be choosing between the CL and S. you should figure out what you want the car for and what you're really going to be using the car for. if you're going to be driving with more than 1 passenger very often then you might want to lean towards the S class. the CL has the room in the back but you dont really want to have someone getting in and out all the time, but if it is just you and 1 other person then id go with the CL. again, just think about what you are going to be doing with the car and make your decision. either way the S and CL, you cant go wrong they're both great cars.
i actually put large wheels on the CL i drove, they are 21" but ive seen 22" on a CL, and it didnt make the car drive badly. now you're going to have some changes and you feel a little bit more, but it isnt very noticeable. i also put a BRABUS kit on the CL and it transforms that car into a very good looking car. ive driven almost every mercedes in the last 5 years and the CL and S class are at the top of that list of the best, but thats just my opinion. you should go test drive both or all 3 cars at your local MB dealership and make your own decision about the cars. good luck with the decision.

The 7 and 6 series. I really liked the 7 series before the W221 S class came out. I liked it because of all the new ideas it presented, and in fact it caught MB's attention which is why they look so similar inside now. I still like the 7 series, but i would go with the MB S class because i like the interior better, I think the S class looks better than the 7 and I feel very comfortable in the S class. The 6 series, Im going to go on a limb and say I dont really like the 6 series. The car looks okay, but Ive always thought there was something missing. Maybe because it looks like a deformed CL, I dont know but I just dont really like it. Again, inside its very generic. I think it might be BMW's choice of color schemes inside that makes the car seem so "cold", I dont feel very comfortable inside. There is very little wood/carbon, the dash and center console look like 1 solid piece. And as far as the M6 goes, its still the same car just a larger engine. BMW does VERY LITTLE to the interior of their M cars, which I dont like. Pay that much extra and I know all of the performance goodies you get with the M cars but still I want some different interior options.
Audi, what can I say. I really like the RS Audi's, let me clarify that I really like the Euro. spec RS Audi's. The US spec cars are different, but the little differences make the car. Why would you take Porsche GT3 seats out? Why would you take the D style steering wheel out? I look at Audi's kinda the same way as the 6 series, there isnt enough separating the dash, console, doors, seats etc. They look like a leather ball exploded inside, it is all the same color, there is very little wood, very little extras.
Okay, the Cayenne. Ive got no idea. Ive never driven, ridden in, looked at or read anything about the Cayenne. Sorry I dont think it looks that bad, but Im not too excited about a Porsche SUV, something seems morally wrong about that whole concept.
Most luxurious from the top. Bentley GT, S/CL class Mercedes, 7 series, 6 series, Audi, and Ill put the Cayenne at the bottom because I dont know anything about it. Because these cars are all at different price points it is hard to compare them because you're not working with an equal amount of money. By the way, I work closely with the BMW dealership too which is why I can speak about the BMW series cars. So thats what I think, if anyone doesnt agree Im sorry, this is just me. I hope that helps you.

- what percentage discount from the list price I can get for paying cash for the new Mercedes CL or Porsche Carrera?
- is there any state I can buy it where the discount offered will be higher?
I am new to the site!
- AMG Package
- Premium II
- Distronic Plus
- Heated stearing
- Ipod integration
The MSRP for this package was $120,080; I got the car for $112,000. Had to pay NJ taxes on top of that price though .
Mercedes-Benz handles luxury with relentless competence, and as one of the costlier models in its lineup, the CL550 is a poster child for luxury done right."
