CLS pipes!

[bpsorrel]

Does anyone agree with me that dropping the twin exposed tailpipes on the "non-sport" new CLS is a bad move?

Even on the SE spec E coupe our beloved pipes are on show

And on all engines of the previous CLS..

What's going on??!!!

 

[martyp87]

Totally agree. The twin tail pipes look fantastic.

Seriously considering moving up to a CLS350 next August. They are just achingly beautiful.

Going to be hard avoiding spending any money on the CLK though as I'd love a set of wheels for it...

 

[bpsorrel]

I'm still thinking about an E coupe...

I think 2013 CLS non sport models have the exposed pipes .. look at the price list

what you want is 4 pipes

Is that ***'s hovel on the left ?

 

[martyp87]

Yes, the E class coupe does indeed look very nice. Had a look around one at my local dealer a few weeks back.

4 do indeed look better, just love looking at the back end of these cars. Thanks for posting the dirty pic. LOL

 

[bigmacplease]

Not a good look!

You can't beat a nice chromed tail pipe

I'd really LOVE a CLS55 (or 63) but the road tax and fuel cost dampen my desire somewhat! But, you never know - or an E500 coupe..

it can be fuel efficient(ish) ...

I think he lives in a silver C class estate

CLS55 is only £270 RFL.

Fuel cost is, well, what it is!!

Hah! I managed 28mpg on a trip to Devon (M4/M5)

I don't I'm afraid.

I rather liked the non-sport W211 hiding its pipes. I think the car looks better without them. Same with the CLS.

Yes, true, but I'd want a car newer than mine which would take me firmly into the £475.00 category..

Whereas the E350cdi coupe is only £215, plus the fuel costs will be much lower.

Still, if we were taxed here as per the Russian model which is power based, the 500s and 55/63s would cost around £1300!! Not soooo bad here then!

It's only money!!

Why something newer? Why not something more 'special'?

 

[bpsorrel]

Good point.... would cost a fair bit less to buy too...

Hmmm.......

Just for gratuitous fun (for me) here's a photo of my current two fav cars.. (in a nice setting too!)

I see Obama had good taste back in 08!!

Now more than ever I realise the CLS, quite unlike any other Mercedes which should only be available in silver for reasons of good taste, should only be available in black or mystic blue

 

[bpsorrel]

Today, I got the first EVER serious compliment of my CLS from SWMBO! It was parked in nice surroundings and we were returning to it and somehow a combination of the angle of the car and the sunset made it look really special. She exclaimed " Your CLS really is a beautiful car!" These words have never been uttered by her in relation to any car before!

CLS visibly looked proud of itself
