Bought a mercedes at ALM, got mercedes treatment

we bought a mercedes benz vehicle at ALM and received a mercedes benz customer service. Our salesman, George Kim was our salesmen and he knew about every mercedes benz vehicles and their functions. He provided adequate information regarding the vehicle and helped us with a full hands on training. He has made our car buying experience a phenomenal one without all the jerking around you get at other dealerships....and paid lot less! We are indeed satisfied customers and hope George will remain there when we are ready to buy our next car. Great job George and keep up the excellent job!!!!

CLS 550 4 Matic

I have the Launch Version with all wheel drive which will do 0-60 in 4.32.The standard RWD will do 4.7 Confirmed by several reviews Its very fast car love the power but very efficient simular to my 2013 535 BMW. Although the five series has better screen and electronics but for me the styling and power of the CLS is a show stopper.

amazing car

Mercedes is a very good example of what we expect from the Germans in quality workmanship. The eligence is beyond any American car. The only vehicle that can compair to this Model is the Bentley Continental.

The All New "Like no other.." the W218 CLS550

The W218 CLS-Class, was redesigned from the W219. Although it is based on the E-Class platform, rest assured that it feels completely different than an E-Class. The seats are comfortable, ride is supple, and with all the technology wizardry, this Mercedes will not disappoint. It even has the optional parking assist that will parallel park for you; not to mention that you can even change the ambient LED lighting from orange, white, to blue. The new CLS features an 4.6L TwinTurbo V8 engine that pumps of 402 respectable horses and 443 lb-ft of torque that propels you from 0-60 in less than 5.1 seconds. The ride is awesome, seats are great for long trips (although only 2 back seats), not to mention the new navigation can play songs off your phone via BT connection. Overall this is a great looking sedan (I've always been a Bimmer man, so it takes a lot for me to say good things about Mercedes) that has all the right things will impress many, if you're looking for an exotic looking "4-door coupe."
