2012 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS550 4MATIC (New York, NY)

2012 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS550 4MATIC

The original Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class CLS550 4MATIC revolutionized modern automotive design. Called a four-door coupe the CLS promised the sporty dynamics of a coupe with a dash of sedan practicality. With its 2012 redesign the four-seat CLS incorporates Mercedes current design language it s also more powerful and more efficient. EXTERIOR From the outside the CLS550 is a knockout. I lost count of how many times the word stunning was used when people saw my family and I pull up in it. Called a four-door coupe it s got all the sportiness of a two-door car minus most of the hassles. The long hood and giant grille can come off a little menacing but its gorgeous sculpted frame and sleek rear end balance things out to make the CLS a top choice for anyone with a penchant for style. INTERIOR In stark contrast to the fresh forward-thinking exterior styling the CLS550 s interior comes off as stodgy and conservative. Frankly it s got quite the boys-club feel inside. No luxury has been overlooked inside the CLS550 s cabin. Allow me to gush about a few of its most hedonistic features available heated and cooled leather seats a massaging driver s seat and active seat bolsters that automatically adjust to hug you and prevent you from sliding in your seat as you turn a corner. All I needed was a robot under the dash painting my toenails and it would be a spa on wheels.
