The CLS is an all-new sedan in Mercedes' lineup for 2006.

• Sharp and sexy exterior design, handles like a much smaller car, smooth V8.

• Sleek lines make getting in back a little awkward, complicated control interface.

  My CLS - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Jeff - December 10 - 7:16 pm

  Mercedes has really created yet another piece of art with this machine. Not only does it look good, but handles like a charm and is very comfortable to drive. This car is also very well built. Not the usual creeks and rattles you can sometimes experience with a new car. This one stays solid and rides very smooth. One of the other great things is all the bells and wistles. Theres a button for eveything.

  Ive been waiting for THIS car! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By mta - December 3 - 3:30 pm

  I knew this beautiful car was coming for about 2 years. When I finally saw it, I had to buy it. It is an amazing car in style & performance. Everyone notices it on the road & it has so many updates over the E320-4 matic I traded in. I did not want another boring looking M.B. I bought the "Launch Edition" which had a list price of $74,500. A limited # of them were produced.

  Good but could be better - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By BoBoBo360 - November 1 - 5:46 am

  This is a very nice car. Did a very nice job in the interior with the leather stitching and beautiful wood. The seven speed transmission is good for fuel economy and its smooth. Big fat tires even without the sports package. Has ADSII a much better version of the semi air suspension compare to ADS.

  Smooth and powerful - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Mike from Ashburn - November 1 - 1:16 am

  It has been a great experience thus far. I have had to hang on tightly when occasionally my foot gets too heavy. I didnt 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 well see if it lives up to the Mercedes reputation for quality.

  My wife and I have had the car now for a month and continue to love it more and more all the time. This is a fabulous car. I love the V8 and the interior is exceptional. Handles very well and is very fast. My only gripe is that you cant get anyone too big in the back seat. Other than that, this car is terrific.

  What a car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By sam - August 10 - 11:20 pm

  I had never driven such a car before. Head turning, excellent handling, powerful, beatiful, classy, easy to drive. I own several other cars among them a Ferrari 360 spider. No comparison between these two cars. The Mercedes is much more powerful and easier to drive. What a beast!

  Love my CLS - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Gilbert - August 5 - 7:46 pm

  I have been driving my CLS for almost 5 months and I really enjoy it. I test drove the BMW 645 and it was a beautiful car, but I liked the Benzs ride better. The control interface is no more complicated than a Japenese car. Almost 8,000 miles on it and no problems at all.

  One Beautiful Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Lou Algieri - July 4 - 9:56 pm

  Mercedes designed the CLS for buyers that wanted something more sporty than an E-Class but couldnt afford AMG series cars. Well, it seemed like they designed it just for me because as soon as I saw it, I wanted one. The car has style, plenty of horsepower and handles better than the E500. I was concerned about the low roofline thinking it would hinder visibility, but that has not been the case. The high performance tires are a little noisy, but not distracting. The jury is still out on the "reliability" category because the car is new. And finally, the CLS has decent cup holders in the front!

  CLS500 Solid 4Dr Coupe - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Lou - May 27 - 11:56 am

  I have had the luxury of owning just about 15 different types of luxury and performance type vehicles and this new CLS 500 gives you the best of both worlds. This car handles like a great sports car should and has the quiet smooth ride you would find in a luxury sedan. I get loads of complimeents from everyone who has seen it.

  Mercedes CLS - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By ryan - April 28 - 9:26 pm

  From the moment I drove the CLS off the car lot I felt like I was riding like a king. The CLS has everything that you would expect it to have. The ride was as if I was riding on air. Mercedes has really done it this time. I wanted to sleep in the car.
