TOP 3  -  2008 Mercedes-Benz Cls63 Amg Review


Mercedes-Benz


If ever there was a brash, yet sophisticated sedan capable of turning heads while "taking no prisoners" on the road, this is it. The CLS63 AMG is the higher-performance version of a high-performance luxury sedan that cuts new, daring lines in the oft-staid world of four-door transportation. The brazen coupe-like styling of the CLS63 AMG must surely shake the "other" German supercar builder to its very unibody core. In my view, Mercedes-Benz has aced BMW design chief, Chris Bangle, at his own game of dramatic design.
