Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / June 2005The new 2006 CLS500 Coupe - First Impresions?
What's good and/or bad about the new 2006 CLS500 Coupe? How does it compare with the XK8 Jag? The best is three-quarter rear view. Very sexy and sleek. They really stood out in the traffic. The down side is expected with lowered roofline. For me, it is bit tight fit as I am very tall guy. Bit more tight than current SL500, SL55, SL600, and SL65. > What's good and/or bad about the new 2006 CLS500 Coupe? How does it > compare with the XK8 Jag? Comparing a CLS and an XK8 is like comparing a dolphin to a horse. The CLS is a 5 passenger sedan and the Jag is a 2 seat roadster. > What's good and/or bad about the new 2006 CLS500 Coupe? How does it > compare with the XK8 Jag? CLS: Four-seater AFAIK... but that doesn't detract from your main point. And, according to DC propaganda the CLS is a coupe, not a saloon (sedan)... :-) DAS For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling --- > Comparing a CLS and an XK8 is like comparing a dolphin to a horse. > The CLS is a 5 passenger sedan and the Jag is a 2 seat roadster. > >> What's good and/or bad about the new 2006 CLS500 Coupe?

Thanks anyway for your comments. > Comparing a CLS and an XK8 is like comparing a dolphin to a horse. > The CLS is a 5 passenger sedan and the Jag is a 2 seat roadster.

I just measured the rear leg room and it's about half an inch when the front seat is all the way forward.... > For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling > --- [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >>>Comparing a CLS and an XK8 is like comparing a dolphin to a horse. >>>The CLS is a 5 passenger sedan and the Jag is a 2 seat roadster. Wouldn't you have to measure the passengers to know their max leg length? . You are right. My tallest passenger's legs were 2 mm long. So I still think there is plenty of room back there... > Wouldn't you have to > measure the passengers > to know their max leg length? > > . |
