| Re: ART GTR 374 based on Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 Why can't these tuners just stop smoking whatever they're smoking? Looks disgusting. What a way to ruin a CLS.  |

| Re: ART GTR 374 based on Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 I agree wimmer, looks like something a 5-year old would enjoy looking at. In truth the CLS doesn`t need to be flashed out as much as the normal sports sedan. It has a language of it`s own that already says "I`m sexy enough  ". tuners need to understand this when trying to customize the CLS. |
