this OLD. '07 body style is the NEW cls550 body style, starting from '12 and newer.....but if you have and older 'cl'......not "cls".....but "CL"then they look like the Newer('12+) Cls550 models.......Mercedes-Benz think they're slick......why buy a 2012 and newer,of the Cls550, when you can buy and old 2007 cl63 or cl Anything......take the 'S' out of the "cls" and you get a newer looking car from a older model.....

Well it should be called the two door version of the S-Class, not only does it carry over the same technology, but it shares the chassis. Word is, with the introduction of the new 4.7 TT V8 to replace the 550 motor, Merc is going to rename it the S-Class coupe like the old days and like the E-Class coupe.

Are you serious? Thats so cool. My parents are both from Bosnia and I was born in Germany so thats pretty cool. Yeah, mostly everybody will drive a European car. I have seen so many Mercedes-Benz cars in Bosnia and alot of Golf II's.

the interiors of the S class and CL make it seem like they dont have that much tech because of the simple design but damn does it have a lot of tech. Great review, man. I enjoy watching these videos

My dad traded his 08' Corvette Z06 fully custom back in 08 for this car, he has the black cl550 amg package, i gotta say i miss the corvette though, but this is a fun car aswell.

OMG thanks CHRIS this is my favorite car...I think this car has everything anyone wants!! is safe, fast, ultra comfortable, handles well, although is very expensive

1bentley4ever commented on 24 Jan 2010

Sounds like the money you saved in the original purchase price was made up for in expenses and repairs. Thanks for the advice. Do you like how your LS drives?

strek0655 commented on 25 Jul 2010

I love Top Gear, and its the most entertaining show I know of. But for real up close looks at the cars the Chicago Cars Direct site is just better.

Wonderful piece of art in every possible way !!! ''10millout'' u go see a psychiatrist immediately.''TheFroman007 '' I share your opinion 100%

TheFroman007 commented on 16 Sep 2013

I honestly can say this is my favorite car, there is nothing that even can come CLOSE to Mercedes-Benz quality. CL550 = World's Greastest Car.

uberenthusiasts commented on 25 Jan 2010

What would anyone expect? Anything based on the S-Class is going to be absolutely brilliant. But yeah, bestt 2-door 4 seat car on the market.

IvyLeagueCars commented on 16 Mar 2010

Such a beautiful car. I hope they make it an S-Class coupe again, it deserves to bear the S badge, especially as it is the same chassis.

Tripp426 commented on 22 Jan 2010

I love Mercedes and absolutely agree that this is an outstanding automobile in every way possible. Thanks so much for uploading this.

webcamfann commented on 23 Apr 2013

I've had Corvettes, BMWs, Lexus, GTOs and this beautiful beast has amazing handling and is so much more fun to drive on long trips.

jaymum23 commented on 08 Jun 2010

This is the most beautiful luxury car on the market today. I hope they don't mess it up when it's redesigned as the S-class coupe!

#1 Pimp C FanPage commented on 23 Jul 2010

i have a cl500, im wondering if i should get a CL550 after that... Maybe ill skip a generation and go for the next body

oncaboy commented on 25 Jan 2010

1bentley4ever commented on 23 Jan 2010

Thanks, I currently don't drive, but when I do in the next few months, I will probably get a Lexus LS400.

downloadgoblin commented on 14 Jun 2012

It's funny how people try to race you when you go pedal to the metal. They show up like 10 seconds later.

uberenthusiasts commented on 25 Jan 2010

I guess I should have been more specific: Best all around 2 door/ 4-seat closed roof coupe on the market

mickey20009 commented on 22 Jan 2010

Whoever can afford this car might get bored in a year or 2 and get a new 1, of course they are rich.

1bentley4ever commented on 26 Jan 2010

I hope he reviews one too. I bet once those things are straight, you're gonna have one helluva car.

as originally from Germany, i would like to point out to many "non Germans" Kompressor, does not stand for "supercharger" i know alot of dealers and sellers like to use that word as a translator, but a Kompressor isnt a supercharger lol nor does it mean supercharger lol. It works similar A Kompressor is steered- mechanically via V-belt and a supercharger is steered via exhaust fumes, thats the difference.

Bob Marley commented on 17 Jul 2013

I stomped out one of these in a race today by 3 car lengths, so I decided to learn more about my kill. I didn't know much about this car. I am running a 2013 Stage 1 S4 with 430hp though so its not like my cars stock. I think I surprised the old man and his wife ; ) I JUMPED out from the start, and just pulled away at all times up to about 105

G55STEYR commented on 01 Oct 2012

I don't know why they even bothered to supercharge the V6 when they could drop in the 55 V8 Kompressor and thus create a Saturn 5 rocket. They that anyway in the next generation but no supercharger, and that's a pitty. That would be a Mercedes style Hot rod with the 55k engine and a 620hp Kleeman upgrade.

xevnoc commented on 06 Dec 2009

you say that like it's a bad thing. I bought mine with 20k km on the clock 3 years ago and have no regrets. They're even cheaper now, great great value for the money. Have had to replace the rear end, alternator, and am having a problem with c-pillar rub, but otherwise, it's rock solid.

Murat Shawn commented on 28 May 2011

@marshyd1589 u may be right with the turbo part, but in german and in germany the word Kompressor is not a supercharger, nor does it mean supercharger....maybe in english or here in america its translated as supercharger because it does the same effect....

lostaznking commented on 25 Jul 2010

OMG FINALY i get an answer to that W/S thing next to the shifter lol. haha i always thought it was something along the lines of wet/sport or wide/short shifts. that start in 2nd gear thing is really good to know

ToastedOmond commented on 14 Nov 2009

My comment before doesn't mean to not buy this car and buy the SL55, I have been in a ride in both cars many times and i have to say the SLK is really fast. I would recommend this if you cant afford the SL55.

marshyd1589 commented on 27 May 2011

@muratshawn ............ WHAT?! A supercharger uses exhaust fumes? I have the feeling that is called a turbo... but maybe thats just an American thing... Superchargers use the belt here in the states.

Silverarrow commented on 07 Apr 2012

@muratshawn Kompressor = Supercharger. Sorry your wrong. These do as they say - compress air. They are belt and pulley driven. Turbo is driven from exhaust gas

beniwood commented on 28 Mar 2010

I have one of these. It is a BLAST on the twisties and the straights. I got mine 2 years ago with 33k on the clock for just $28K. 349 HP and tons of torque.
