Pros
  • The best design of all hunchback sedans
  • Solid drivetrain
  • Exceptional CLS 55 AMG
  • Good interior quality
  • No AWD nonsense
  • Reintroduction of C55 AMG
  • Slightly less rusty
  • Good 0.26 drag coefficient
  • Good towing capacity
  • Double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup
  • Great range of V8 (supercharged!) and I6 lineup (forget the Ecoboost)
  • Good 0.29 drag coefficient
  • Manual transmission + SC V8
Cons
  • Started the 4-door coupe nonsense
  • Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front

  • Non-AMG models still looked "off"
  • Generic styling
