the car looks great, as usual as any black merc IMO, the CLS is almost perfect if it werent for the ridiculous lack of space in the back of it

Ohh yes, I went there for 3/4 years and I still remember ... there's only one exit in the museum, with about 5 security guys who are staring at you until you're in the bus, you can't even look around :shock:
I wanted to say "hey, I'm not james bond, don't worry" but finally I decided not to say anything

Lol, I don't really know why they do such things to preserve "security", tourists like us don't steal secret things

Well, someone might pose as a tourist (james bond) and in that way try to enter the premises to "spy" on their manufacturing prosesses. I went to the porsche factory in stuttgart an they took us on this whole tour through their factory, we just werent allowed to take any pics

Hmm, I also went to the Porsche Museum (so I didn't visit the factory, it was sunday), that was the contrary as MB ... nobody nowhere, just 1 person at their showroom (the most interesting thing there, the museum is a very small place with only a few cars)
