Pros
  • The best design of all hunchback sedans
  • Solid drivetrain
  • Exceptional CLS 55 AMG
  • Good interior quality
  • No AWD nonsense
  • Tremendous M156 engine in the C63 AMG
  • Fewer chassis-related problems than W203
  • Good 0.25 drag coefficient
  • 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
