I think the 6 series gran coupe is very underrated but yeah the 2019 cls is looking kinda dull

I like how the profile lines harken back to the older first gen CLS. I had a W219 63 AMG.

But the rest of the car looks like it got caught under a hot fire and started melting.

Look like a bigger C300 coupe. I find it beautiful but not sure the design language is evolving enough. I feel like you need your higher level cars to be distinct from the entry level jawns

Exterior looks kinda stupid & flat lmao. Interior shyts on the current one. It was gimped, now its lit.

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

I knew those lights reminded me of something

the CLS stock is a way faster car than the A7 and the AMG blows the S7 out the water, you really need a RS7 to be comparable, engine wise, but then now you are spending $40-50k more on the A7 line just to be comparable to a more common CLS line.

Before the A7 interior was very lacking compared to the CLS, but the new A7 interior might be GOAT but usually on road, the CLS is still a superior looking car.




edit:

2018 CLS550 stock engine: 402 HP ($75k MSRP)
2018 Audi A7 stock engine: 340 HP ($69K MSRP)

2018 CLS 63 AMG engine: 577 HP ($108k MSRP)
2018 Audi S7 engine: 450 HP ($81k MSRP)
2018 Audi RS7 engine: 560 HP ($114k MSRP... if you can find one, usually marked up to $120-130+k due to rarity.)

Comparable? Maybe now. But just last year a RS7 would have blown the doors off of a CLS63.

I’m waiting for the first few reviews to come through. Hoping Mercedes didn’t gimp this thing because of the impending AMG GT 4-Door.

what year did the RS7 have a more powerful engine than the CLS63 AMG ?

You’re kidding me right?

Big honking engines and HP don’t tell the entire story. The RS7 can walk most cars on the road. Including any and all AMGs and Ms.

it’s a 3.2 second 0-60 car.

Um, the base model (CLS450) is gonna be an inline 6 fam, 362 hp. Actually, that might be the only engine next year. They haven't said shyt about a V8 yet.
