2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class CLS 550

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 is one of the sleekest car designs on the road. You might mistake it for a big drop of liquid mercury flowing down the highway. Mercedes-Benz did an excellent job maintaining a low, nicely curved roof and molding the rear fenders into its sides. If you don't want people stopping to admire your car, the CLS550 is not for you.
As an update of one of Mercedes-Benz's big sedans, the CLS550 sports a new engine making its way down the lineup of all Mercedes-Benz 550-designated cars, a direct-injection V-8 with twin turbos. This engine, and a new seven-speed automatic, combine for surprisingly good fuel economy. The car also comes standard with an air suspension, giving it one of the most comfortable rides around.
Mercedes-Benz has done a lot of work on driver assistance electronics, and the CLS550 serves as a showcase for these innovative technologies. The cabin tech suite features very good navigation and stereo, but in this area, the company doesn't push the envelope. Mercedes-Benz shies away from the kind of application integration currently coming into vogue.
