Available at our wholesale cost is a 5 year/100,000 additional miles on the odometer powertrain warranty for only $1,220 (versus $4k-$5k if the transmission goes out). This car is fully loaded with an original MSRP of about $70k: Premium Package $3,650 (Harman/Kardon audio, heated driver and passenger active/massage ventilated seat with thigh support, Multi-contour front seats, DVD COMMAND Navigation, Keyless-Go), Parktronic $1,100 (parking distance sensors front and rear and radar). The CLS's coupe-like roofline says what the car is about. Coupes are sporty. They look fast. They are personal, meant to flatter the driver even at the expense of the passengers' comfort if necessary. They imply a more lithe and responsive demeanor on the road. Coupes are cool. Exclusive. Sexy. And the car is not only fast-looking. It really does run pretty well. The E500 sedan supplies all the major componentry, including the 302-horsepower, 5.0-liter, three-valve-per-cylinder aluminum V8 and terribly slick seven-speed automatic transmission (a world's first when it came out). 0-60 MPH comes in about 5.8 seconds. Braking from 60-0 takes up only 110 feet (a stand-out performance) thanks to the big 13-inch front discs. It comes equipped with Mercedes' Airmatic Dual Control air suspension with Adaptive Damping System. This design incorporates semi-active, electronically controlled pneumatic spring struts to assist the conventional coil springs and variable-rate dampers. The system continually adjusts spring and damping rates to reduce pitch, dive and roll, while affording a comfortable, compliant ride. The driver can firm things up with two selectable Sport modes. It all works beautifully, giving the CLS a serene and polished feel on the road as well as surprising agility for its size and weight. Probably thanks to the grippy short-sidewall 275/35 tires on 18-inch alloys, the CLS wiggled through a tester's 600-foot slalom at an average speed of 62.1 mph, topping the E500's 59.9. Yet On the highway, the lack of wind noise is eerie, you'll find yourself rechecking the speedometer just to confirm that you're actually moving. Looks like half the actual miles - tough to find a nicer one anywhere. Drive a modern classic for less than a third of what it was new. Offered at $16,900. Go to www. for a 25-photo slide show.
