Well.... I found my new car!

Here She Is

Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG








I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Mercedes-Benz. This is one of the best looking automobiles made in my opinion. I looked at one the other day at the Mercedes dealership. Yes we have a Mercedes dealership in Little Rock

Price is only $90,000 list. Guess I'll run out tomorrow and get one.

But that's for the CLS 500 not the AMG CLS 55. At least thats what they go for on our lot. If it is the CLS 55, go out and buy 2 as mentioned.

Nope... That was for the CLS AMG 55 sitting on the lot. $90,000 out the door.

It's not as good looking to me and I can get two for the price of the SL65.

Like I could really buy any of them anyway.

The factory is on my way home from work. I have some change left over from my morning coffee and newspaper ... what color do you want ??
Over here, these kind of cars are like seeing pickup trucks in the country ... everyone has at least one.
It is a nice looking ride, that's for sure !!!

You probably just offended a bunch of German engineers. I believe they like to call it an "automotive assembly facility".

.... more like the "German's Bread and Butter facility".
We have Mercedes, Smart and Porsche automotive assembly facilities here in Stuttgart. You tend to see a lot of the prototypes driving around with black plastic strategically placed on fenders and hoods etc ... Looks kinda funny seeing one smoking down the Autoban at 130 mph.

That CLS55 AMG is far uglier in person than in photos. Too "droopy" in the butt. Give me an E-class for a sedan, or maybe the SL65 AMG for playtime. Although really, for that I'd rather have the Bentley Continental GT.

Hey Britt, if you can afford that on a FF's salary, I want back in!

Any openings on your job for a slightly used Lt with an inspections background?
