Mercedes CLS shooting brake

I prefer to stick to OEM when buying high value items myself.

Plus if you own a really nice car then there is no real rush to get where you are going.

That is so true!!!

How is it RRS and the like always seem happy to sit in the slow lane?

There was three seating places in the one I sat in today..

Try and sit three kids in them... It's a 4 seater.

Nowt more fun than fookin about with OEM. An ordinary RS6 would decimate an AMG CLS Shooting Brake. If you have enough money to shell out 70k for an estate car, you've got enough money to service it twice as often.

If you own a nice car, no reason to rush getting places? Why buy a high end performance car then, why not a cooking version with the same spec?

Thats easy! If you have the V8 engine in a RR as you rev the engine the rev counter goes up but the fuel dial goes down

My mates XKRS is managing 8-19mpg average consumption. There just isn't any point going nuts on a V10 Turbo.

So I'd rather go for the top spec extras and a slower engine.

What's got a V10 turbo?

And why is there no point?

Of course and the tuned RS6 would beat an OEM AMG but then by the time you had proven your point on the M4 you wouldn't have a licence and would more than likely be off to prison for being a complete moron

And there you have it, the CLS shooting brake comes with a 3 litre diesel that get over 50mpg, and still goes like the clappers. Don't like Audi's. Not many people in Munich do

The stock RS6 immolates an AMG, the tuned one makes it look stupid.

Just the M4, or are there other places ot play?

CLS 350CDI doesn't get over 50mpg, maybe the twin turbo diesel 2.0 does, not the 3.0.

And seriously, why buy a nice car and ruin it by putting a taxi engine in it?

The chap at Mercedes shop said it does. Who do I believe?!

A diesel engine does not mean a taxi engine!
