World Premiere -- First Drive: 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG

 

[CraigRT]

looks like the new version of my friends' dads' CLK-55... oh that's great, he'll just have to buy that one!

 

[EvilYoda]

huh, nice...I definitely like the sleek yet aggressive look. I'm sure I'll see a few of these rare cars around here.

 

[zimu]

never got why top gear is so anti-mercedes, generally.

 

[SuperTool]

Awesome inside and out.

 

[GTaudiophile]

I can't wait to see TopGear put a CLS55 up against an M5. In terms of exterior and interior design, I personally prefer the CLS, though no doubt BMW's V10 is the sweeter engine!

It's not. Jeremy Clarkson's DD is a Merc SL500.

Of course Lexus will copy it in no time.

Lexus doesn't have an AMG equivalent. It's not their market.

I'm liking the CLS more and more.

Hmm... 5.0 liter naturally aspirated V10 or a 5.5L supercharged V8. I'll take the V8 please.

There is a non-amg CLS too. I was talking about the design.

Sorry, but for that price tag, 302HP is pathetic.

If you're talking about the $85,000-$95,000 pricetag listed at the bottom of the article, that's for the 469hp version.

You posted just as I came back to insert my foot in my mouth.

I figured that couldn't possibly be right.

You really need to be faster at this. Now you have PowerMac4Ever thinking he's smart or quick or something. That will inflate him for at least a week. The fun part is, if you ask him what just happened, he'll say "I pwned you!"

 

[Aharami]

is it just me or does this sort of remind you of a lexus SC430?

edit:

The tires are upgraded to 235/35ZR-19s in the front and 285/30ZR-19s at the rear on AMG five-spoke alloy wheels. The brakes are, in a word, enormous ? 14.2-inch front ventilated disc brakes with eight-piston calipers, with 13-inch ventilated discs at the rear, operated by four-piston calipers.

sheeesh. can someone say holy cow?!

wtf is your problem? I didn't flame the guy, I only pointed out that the $85,000-$90,000 version had 469hp. Chill out :roll:

:heart:

 

[Aleksandar]

Call me when you see a jap or american car that can compare to this

 

[JDub02]

seck-say!

i'm not completely sold on the body style, though. i don't really care when there's 400+ hp under the hood, though.

 

[z0mb13]

the amg version is only 80-90k!?!??! I thought the s55 amg goes for like 110-120k

 

[alexeikgb]

Looks sweet..... except for the price ~90k
