If your idea of a luxury car is one that pampers, impresses and occasionally thrills when the road turns winding, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 will satisfy. The "four-door coupe" is powered by a twin-turbo 4.7-liter V8 producing 402 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, going 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, while still managing over 22 miles/gallon on average. As you power into those curves, active bolstering on the driver's seat will keep you in place, while safety features such as four-wheel antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front knee airbags, front side airbags (both torso and pelvic), and full-length curtain airbags will keep protecting you from all sides. There's plenty of room in the back for two adults, and the trunk space is generous with 15.7 cubic feet available. Our CLS550 has sport steering wheel paddle shifters, upgraded leather upholstery, adaptive LED headlights, automatic high beams, a rearview camera, power trunk closer, keyless ignition/entry, heated and ventilated front seats with 10-way power adjustment + four way lumbar adjustment, power rear sunshade and a Bluetooth/iPod/USB audio interface with voice-activated navigation. Built to drive the German Autobahn, the CLS550 drives beautifully, with the adaptive air suspension and variable dampers providing secure handling and impressive ride quality, all while maintaining a quiet cabin so you can enjoy the 14-speaker Harmon Kardon surround-sound system. No smoking of ANY KIND in the vehicle!
