    CLS is the king. i like the old one inside and out. i love old W211 E class too. newest CLS looks nice outside,but inside-same ugly lines line like in all 2010 models. not my style.
    that pop up display on audi-i think they have on all models for years. looks cool :p

    Can someone please tell me why these car companies still insist on calling these new 4 door vehicles 4 door coupes when "coupe" implies 2 door, WTF is this all about. A coupe is a 2 door vehicle not a 4 door like the CLS mb.

    "aging world population"

    Next time your out take a look at the people driving the $30-$45k luxury cars in the bmw, mb, infiniti, audi, lexus etc categories and tell me how old they are. They are NOT 60, 70, or 80 they are more like 20, 30, and 40.

    Yea of course, these companies are always coming up with a new innovative marketing idea to throw out to the public and of course the dumb public is always there to accept it with open arms. Its not a coupe, its a 4 door fucking sedan, lets get real here people.

  8. I just bought a Audi2010 mQ7 S series. Traded in my A6.

    I looked at Mercedes. You can lease a Mercedes for 300 bucks a month, the 300c etc and the lower model. You put 4k down and you can also get a car note for 8 years.

    I couldn't drive off the lot in the Q7s with 4k down and 300 per month with Audi..

    So, Mercedes is getting the average 9to5er making 40k a year, to lease or buy a Mercedes with a 7 year car note. Of course their sales will increase.

    BMW has the same offer, but their Adds say, drive away in a new 3 and 5 series for 300 down and 300 a month.

    All this is in San Antonio Tx.

    yea I have seen the commercials for the c300 leasing around $349 a month, didnt know you can get a car note for 8 years, I thought they only gave 60 month notes, I have seen some 72 month but never a note for 8 years, thats just sad for anyone who wants to be paying for a car for the next 8 years.

    q7s retail for 45k-60k depending on options so there is no way your getting that for $300 a month, something in that area starts around $599 and up.

    The average person making 40-50k can easily throw in a c300 into their budget thats why I see them all day long along with acura tls.

    As for the BMW where are you able to drive a 5 series for $300 down and $300 a month unless they are 2007-2008 models.
