Lexus Vs. CLS 500
Pros: Head turner, good handling Cons: Quality of Lexus (LS430) far exceeds than this one. Poor controls' interface, Very bad service by Mercedes. A bit uncomfortable for longer drives.
Luxury Defined
This is my fifth Mercedes car and I really love this one. My last car was a 2004 S430. The CLS looks and feels more luxurious, and it gets noticed. People always think it cost much more than it actually does. The controls are well placed and the interior treatment is gorgeous. High quality materials cover every surface. You sit low in the car and you feel as though the car wraps around you, creating a very personal environment. Gas mileage is not great, but who cares, it looks and drives so well. Overall, a great car and definitely the best Mercedes I have owned. I shopped other cars including BMW and Lexus, but they didn't compare in overall design and luxury feel.

Unbelievable show stopper
Everywhere I go I have people stopping me over the syling of the car. I sold a BMW 545 i because I was so uncomfortable in it. Love the ride and comfort of this car. Recommend it highly. Buy it with the AMG package.
Smooth and powerful
It has been a great experience thus far. I have had to hang on tightly when occasionally my foot gets too heavy. I didn't expect the engine performance and its been a pleasant surprise. The control is more complex than it has to be (how many menus just to change the light?) But after its all together easy to work with and maintain. Its only been a month so we'll see if it lives up to the Mercedes reputation for quality.
500 CLS
Absolutely wonderful automobile. One of the best looking ever by Mercedes. Wish they would build the CLS with the new 320CDI diesel technology
