The CLS63 is a man’s everyday space shuttle. To sum up the car, the experience and the pure greatness of the CLS63: Buy. One. Now.

The CLS63 AMG is all the Benz we need. Everyone should have one, if not two, of these 500-plus-hp interstate burners parked in the garage.

Spending time in the CLS63 AMG is like being a Grand Master Martial Arts expert in a brilliant Savile Row custom suit. The ability is always there, just hidden under an exterior covering.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is a schizophrenic machine. On the one hand it’s a comfortable four-door luxury sedan, and on the other, it’s a ground pounding muscle sports car.

This car can haul four people, stomp around a race track at an alarming rate of speed, and still be able to dance around with cars half its size. The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is our super-sedan-coupe of choice.

There’s a lot more to be lightheaded about with this new CLS. If this car were a coat, I’d want to wear it. Alas, it is merely a car. But it is a car that captivates both the heart and the mind, catering to passions with underpinnings of practicality.

The CLS63 AMG is a hostile take on the already extroverted second-generation CLS, and it has us in equal parts scared and seduced.

he CLS63 AMG may not be for everyone, certainly not at the expected $100,000-plus price tag, but it will make a handful of enthusiasts very happy.

The new 2012 Mercedes CLS63 AMG leaves the old version fittingly in the mirrors. Dynamics are hugely improved, fuel mileage is way up, and the passenger cabin remains a comfortable place for four adults.

While downsizing can sometime cramp your style, for AMG it means a leaner, meaner result. Indeed, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG is one beauty and the beast tale that is no fantasy.
