I told you why i didnt like the CLS already-refer back to post #58. The truth is i dont hate any car in particular. Obviously i prefer german brands over japanese and American...but i thought everyone else was picking on those guys so i would say something about one german i dont particularily like. I like any car built with some sort of purpose in mind-whether its transportation, gas mileage, practicality, rock climbing, handling, etc. The CLS doesnt have any of that imo. |
That sounds a little bit better. Some cars are just made for styling and for the sake of being different. Stody old Mercedes would have never made something so good looking and impractical just a few years ago. It adds some glamour to the lineup and gives people something to gawk at when it goes by. Its a leisure, fun car not dictated by, something not solely dictated by an engineering brief. The CLS handles better than the E-Class while also managing to ride better so there are some function aspects to it also.
Also, any car with a pillar-less door design is going to show some wear after an autoshow appearance. Most CLSs I've seen over the last few years at autoshows had dirty, stained seats from all the people getting in and out, something it would take years to happen with a private owner who kept on top of conditioning the leather like you're supposed to.
