  | Edmunds IL Track Tested: 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG           This is the car that started the whole "four-door coupe" thing. Seemed like a strange idea at the time, but now the Mercedes-Benz CLS is the old-timer of the low-roof sedan crowd. Still looks good though, and when you stuff AMG's 6.2-liter V8 under its hood the CLS feels good too. The standard CLS550 is no slouch, but the AMG setup turns the CLS into the low-slung street sleeper that its design has always promised. Just look at these numbers and see for yourself.

| Re: Edmunds IL Track Tested: 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Flamingly hot. That batch of photos reminds us why the CLS is the mother of four door coupes. I pray that those side mirrors make it to the next car as they highly compliment the design. Thanks for the article. |

 Looks also stunning…but like the Carbon fibre trim in E-Class more. Looks better, on smaller parts…edit: searching for a photo already…

| Re: Edmunds IL Track Tested: 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Okay found them: Interior of W211 with Carbon!! It is gorgeous…and in my opinion, the CLS interior needs wood!!   Well this part in the C219 looks great - but the big part at the dashboard, Im not a great fan of that!
