  • Cars.com please change the title name to 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL550 Park Assist Review

  • He compares Mercedes with Toyota and licolin what an idiot

  • This wasn't even a review!!!!!!!!!

  • Worst review I've seen. This guy is a clown.

  • Mercedes CL class parking review .. AhAhahahaahaha

    I think the editor forgot to edit the title :p

  • I walked passed a CL 500 today and as usual my jaw dropped :D im gonna buy one when i get rich bitch!

  • Self parking? I thought you got a license to drive the vehicle? Are we really succumbing to the conversation piece gizmos? I like this reviewer, but he definitely dropped the ball on this one. You don't test drive the pinnacle of automotive achievement without including it's main attributes. You even explained the reason it doesn't have one, and yet complained further more. There is not one competitor in this class... I would have focused on it's aura of godly exquisiteness. Thanks anyhow!

  • The title should be 2009 Mercedes cl 550 coupe parking system review.

  • WTF , AWFUL REVIEW ,,,,,,,,,100 grand car and emphasized on self parking ,,,,,,,,, jeremy clarkson and the gang from TOP GEAR will be laughing thier ass off once they see this review , 4 minutes of nonsense stuff

  • SERIOUSLY? IM NOT GONNA BUY A CL550 SO IT CAN PARK FOR ME

  • Who gives a FUCK about a Toyota Prius? Why even mention it? How can ANYONE take this review seriously?

  • First of all, this guy has parked in a fake space (these cars read painted parking lines, if this dork had considered), and that's all he talked about. And we wonder why corporations are taking over this world. If this guy made $1 from this video, he was overpaid, um, foolishly overpaid.

  • One of the best reviews ever. Just because the name is Mercedes they charge extra for that half ass parking assist, while a better system can be found in a half ass car(hybrid) cheaper. This CL is a rip off. Thanks cars.com for letting us about this.

  • Is this a car review? Where's the driving?

  • This car is amazing!!

  • the guy is full of shit u dont need parking assistance if u know how to drive go buy a lincoln or prius ya prick

  • Mercedes CL= one of the ultimate kings of the ultra luxury 4-seat coupes along with bentley and rolls royce.

  • How the hell can this hack of an automotive Journalist compare a Mercedes CL550, to a Lincoln MKT and Toyota Prius?!

    Cars.com Fails again.

  • hahaha what was that about? comparing the prius to the CL... that was totally out of place

  • Is there something wrong with your goddamn head? give it a shake before you make another review

  • OMG who cares about f**** parking system? Go buy a Prius and leave M-B to people who can actually drive.

  • the worst review by Cars.com I've seen to date. He spend 4 min talking about a parking feature, not the car.

  • this guy is a fucking dumb ass

  • I WISH THAT CAR HAD A GIANT DILDO UNDER THE FRONT SEAT TO FUCK THAT GUY UP THE ASS....

  • This review is absolute shit

  • I like this system better. For beginners it gives you some peace of mind, yet it gradually trains you, so that hopefully you won't need it after a while.

  • the only people who need that much help to parallel park are women.

  • I really wonder why do you need that specific parking guidance to park!!!!! What happenned to that driver skills we used to have and everything was ok?

    Trully in my opinion the only useful thing in cars nowdays regarding the parking system, are the parking sensors, just to let you know how close you are to the cars in front and behind. All the rest is waisted money!

  • How the hell do they compare a Toyota Prius and that hideous Lincoln to a Benz CL 550? This car is probably the most gorgeous car in the world, has a great engine, and has the ultra-reliability of Mercedes Benz. They dedicate almost the entire video to a parking system that realistically nobody should need because parallel parking is not all that difficult. AMAZING car, AWFUL review.

  • He started turning the wheel the wrong way on the last part of parking. HAHAH.

  • You cannot compare a goddam Lincoln to a Merc!

  • what a fucking retard, he should research why mercedes would do that instead of complaining its not even a big deal..."the Mercedes philosophy is that the driver is in control at all times"

  • one of the best car in the world at the moment...

  • One of the most beautiful cars in the world. I could care less how it parks.

  • one of THE best cars in the World and they review only the parking system.

    idiots

  • wtf!! u get a 107k car and u do a fucking review about the parking system!? wtf is this shit i want performance, i want pros and cons, i dont give a shit about ugly buttons on the side of cars, i can park a car without a computer-.-

  • Wow no wonder so many people suck at parking, they require their cars to help them out.

  • shut the fuck up u bastard and just drive the car

  • What a cock. How many times has this guy be punched in the face and not deserved it?

  • @zeonalarm looooooooooooooooool

  • Who gives a shit about the Lincoln and Toyota Prius? What a retard.

  • This Jow Wiesenfelder is a bit of a douchebag. He shouldnt be reviewing cars

  • 100 grand car .. n hes barking about parking feature..fukin garbage

  • What a total knob this guy.

  • Cars.com is garbage. This guy is a joke.

  • Cars.com is garbage. This guy is a joke.

  • i.ve seen some of the reviews of this guy on other cars , this guy is BLOODY AWFUL ,he mentions all stupid things that is not neccesary about the vehicle , , how can this guy got this job , a lot of people are more deserving

  • wtf , r u kidding me , he reviewed a high performance mercedes benz cl class and focused on SELF PARKING ,,,,,,,,, THIS REVIEW IS RIDICULOUS

  • this fuker does the worst car reviews... not just this one...but all of them

  • Joe Weisenfelder sucks.

  • If you can't parallel park a car you should not drive period! It's part of the fucking driving test for a reason!

  • Okay, I got a shitload of money. Hmm...should I buy the boxlooking Prius or the butt ugly Lincoln. Nah, I'll go for the CL.

  • Right, and people buy the CL, JUST for the sake of making parking easier......NOT because it's a nice car! How stupid is this guy?! As if the car is $100+ just for having the park assist! Dumbest review, ever....CL vs Prius vs MKT! Utterly irrelevant!

  • one who doesn't know how to park...better not to drive at all!

  • just park the f@cking smooth car do,what a bull,that park assis.....its not for a woman do right!!!!!!!!!!.

  • o wow no park assist then skrew the benz im going toyota

    ya right what a waste of time video

    that car looks great bottom line

  • LMAO, what a "review." Carscom, please die.

  • So this entire review was about the parking system? Great. Just great. Does anybody care about driving anymore? Does anybody know how to park their own damn car anymore? People pay big $ for the whole quality and design of the car, including how it drives. It is worth it to those who can afford it. Gizmo geeks don't get it.

  • id be more impressed if it could find a parking spot

  • hahahaha the direction modern cars are taking .. i mean soon u dont have to know u ways around ur country or even know how to drive u just sit ask for the destination and the car will do the driving.....i mean no wonder there are lots of lazy people around ....

  • its a mercedes,, what do u spect¡¡

  • bullshit!! LEXUS has very very very better system then this shit!

  • +10000000000.

  • rubbish! lexus is for idiots!

  • Mercedes for bastard!!!

  • lmao no, if you want Top Gear you will find out that Mercades is for asses not for bastards! and its true!

  • @hazemvirus You think that!!!

    Take a around you Mercedes is like headache!!!

    Lexus is the best!!! More than you can think DUDE!!!

  • hate to say it but hyundai has better designs then Mercedes if your going to pay over 100+k for this u must be compensating for your short comings.good day throw shade.

  • @Theparksideshow If you have the $ and you like the car, who gives a rat's arse what dorks like you think. I like the car and I have the $. Enjoy your Hyundai.

  • Carscom: Prius, Lincoln are not in mercedes range. Lexus also has parking assist which sux.

  • who gives a fuck if it parks for you...

    drive the fucking thing and tell us how it is to drive!

  • hahahhah fuck ye

  • i like this parking system better the best because it doesn' take as long. i mean my mom has the lexus ls with the parking thing and it tkes FOREVER!!!

  • if u wanna see a real review of this car go to chicago cars direct and look up cl550 they got the best car reviews around I MEAN THE BEST!

  • lol i have one

  • make a real review about the car not the parking

  • nice parking system

  • That parking system is pretty cool. Very intuitive.

  • This is a review of the Mercedes parking system, not of the CL 550. Pretty crap.

  • Worst review ever! The reason it is hydraulic is because it feeds more steering feel to the driver. Comparing a Mercedes Benz CL to a Prius and a Lincoln - what is wrong with this guy?

  • @hs01jowe

    actually review abot parking is boring, but the comparison is valid because its a feature that luxury companies like to OVERCHARGE.

    U know when u get toyotas and kias, they are fully decked out in cameras, gadgets for so cheap price. where as bmw n merc etc, charge sooo much for so little gadgets.

    so i think they should not do this to customers as, I for one am not appreciating overprices options. maybe u are so rich that it doesnt matter to u.

  • I doubt anyone driving a CL really cares about steering feel... An SL driver, maybe.

  • @hs01jowe A $27K economy car has full automatic parking assist. A $107900 luxury car has a semi automatic parking assist. So instead of asking what is wrong with this guy, you should be able to see what is wrong with this luxury brand car.

    As for the steering, he already explained it in favor of the luxury car.

  • @Fussinated He explained that this Mercedes uses conventional hydraulic steering. I personally hate electric steering, it has a flaccid feel. Trust me, no one can beat Mercedes when it comes to technology. All the Japanese do is copy.

  • @DJFG85 Well, hydrolic steering or electric steering it all dpends on the application. The difference is that electric steering decreases the burden on the engine.

    Also, no Japanese don't copy always a technology. Audi for example, is copying the SH-AWD of Honda in its newer models. So, don't be prejudiced each sometimes copy from the other regaedless to the origin of nation. Japanese today are making the best overall cars. Germans, and Koreans follow close. Americans are next.

  • I really like this set up the reason MERC stuck with the hydrolic stearing is to give you a better driving feel the electronic steering systems are completely numb and give you no assurance and can not react as quickly as you can if you need to turn quickly.

  • pretty terrible review... but I think i like this system better than the Lexus, id rather park my own $100k thank you

  • Mercedes is much more of a driver's car. Lexus is great but is made for old people in a persistent vegetative state.

  • any driver who needs help deciding if he or she fits a parking spot shouldn't be driving.

  • wtf,the review is all about the parking system

  • dislike!

  • What about the review of the Car!

  • they should fire this guy, he didn't talk about the car hes reviewing at all he just parked it

  • he barley reviewed the car!!!! he just talked about the damn parking system...

  • merc are so easy to park anyway.. Thats a sexy kar..

  • who needs help parking anyways the only thing u maybe need is it telling u if u can fit

  • Lol, If I want to buy a Mercedes Benz, do you think that the prius with a cheaper parking system or a lincoln are important to me? lol, please son, this Mercedes is even more than only the park assist.

  • this guy cant review for shit

  • WTF!? why was this video about some parking shit, nobody buys a benz because some computer shit to help u park!

  • why the fuk is he comparing a prius to a CL benz? this retard is on crack...who the fuk cares about the PRIUS and the LINCOLN

  • doesn't impress me, it still doesn't fly, I have more respect for a Cessna airplane then for this 4 wheel carriage. Yeah it got some luxury and features and what not, but come on, do you really need all that? If you can't do a parallel parking, you shouldn't be driving anyway. You sit in traffic with this car the same way as I sit with my good old Cavalier.

  • do you even have a car

  • Niger please

  • shut up u dont even have a bike.

  • But wayyyyyyyyyyyyy classier and wayyyy more comfortably. Why would you compare an old American death trap Cavalier to a beautiful German coupe? Are you that poor?

  • ya but your cavalier dosnt massage your back and keep your ass cool while sittin in traffic....

  • cars are all about driving not parking. he's a senior editor? my god! we didn't see a single shot of this car in proper motion....lameeee

  • The most pathetic video "review" of a car I have ever seen. Perhaps the title was a genuine mistake...

  • yeah u can realy tell this dud aint know $hit bout cars ..is this how u review a 100 000$ mercedes ? by testing its parking option ... yo go get a life ? thas not the point in this car. An since when can u compare a toyota pryus or any lincon with mercedes ? an that lincon an toyota aint even in the same class as the CL Mercedes ..get life yall!!

  • I'll bet the cars behind you will be glad when u are using a decade to park that car........

  • Boring video,

  • CANT*

  • This Big ass bus wtf was mercades thinking how can u park this shit its like a minivan it has guidance because the old bit@ches who buy it can park it

  • MY FAVERIOUT CAR !!

  • Comment removed

  • i got one of these, luxury is amazing and power is great too. 382hp 5.5 liter v8.

  • ofcourse you do in a 100 thousand $ car you have to

  • Mercedes is the shit,

    but people still think American cars are the shit but all they do is break down on you after 35000 miles

  • price is rediculous. Wait three years and buy one for 38 k.

  • You don't by a CL for the park assist!! LLLOOOLLL!!

  • wow almost 10 minutes to park a car

    miracle of technology

  • the entire review was about an option that no one in the world needs? wow.. im fucking 17 and i could have parallel parked my mazda3 perfectly into the same spot, gotten out and filled the meter in less than the time it took him to stop a city's block of traffic for half a century... shouldnt someone who buys a car with nearly 400 HP be able to handle such a task themselves?

  • So the price is high for unnecessary features. Get a shipper $35k 2010 camaro and a chauffeur/body guard for 1year.

  • Umm... Why would u compare a $108,000 to a $27,000???

  • u have to spin the wheel without movign the car

    kill ur tires..

  • rich parents buy their children expensive cars all the time, so the parking system could possibly work for a kid.

  • rich parents don't buy their children $100,000 cars. Wealthy parents buy their children $100,000 cars.

  • stupid parents buy their children $100,000 cars...

  • My parents bought me a $100,000 car!!

  • well your parents are idiots. congratulations.

  • id hate to see your insurance bill

  • and?

  • Amazing CAR,NICE CAR,I LOVE this car!!1

  • Who in the hell cares about parallel parking? if I am driving a $100,000 car I would NOT park in the street anyways - Valet Parking Baby!!!

  • yall need 2 shut the fuck up!! yall just mad cuz yall aint got 100,000+ for a car. LMAO

  • bmw is better

  • wow nobody is gonna car about the park assist after you buy this car this car is so much more than that

  • i never parallel park backing up, i just pull right in, and my car is smaller so i have better turning radius

  • Dumb fuck Americans, its not pronounced coup, its coupe!

  • Its the different accent you asshole. Get over it.

  • the parking system would be great for beginner drivers. I like the much older CL better than the new one, its much cheaper too.

  • beginner drivers wouldn't be driving a benz in the first place??? especially a cl W216

  • i like doing it myself, and the help rocks. I hate pulling out ;) LOL

  • This is the worst review ever.....he reviews one of the best cars in the world, and he talks about parking sensors for 3 minutes....what a tard. And at the end he shows how much he knows what he's talking about by saying that this should have electric steering....yea right. You get no feel of the road with electric steering, it feels like driving a video game, not a sports car.... Anyway, 4 minutes of reviewing and all we learned about this car is its price and that it has parking sensors.

  • Yes, because when Mercedes thought of redesigning their Cl-class they had Toyota Prius buyers in mind.

  • This is not a review of the car, but ONLYof the parking assist!

  • Title shoud've been, CL550 parking guidence.

  • They takling about pariking system. Bullshit...

  • wow first of all u didnt even talk about the car and secondly why the fuck are u even mentioning a toyota prius?

    FAIL...EPIC FAIL

  • when you buy a 500 Horse power monster of a car it's supposed you don't need guidance for parking it...when you buy a sport's car the parking is the last thing u're thinking about...

  • it has 382.

  • whatever ...

  • seriously if someone needs that to help them to park should not have a license

  • it's only for luxury. it might as well have it lol, it costs 100k+

  • I thought this was a review of the car, not the parking system

  • the vw passat cc can park alone

  • LoL i have that "beep" inside my brain when i park :D

  • haha!

  • what if you have one of those bastards that likes to taigate on your ass and you need to paralell park nose first?

  • they are comparing it to prius etc as if this car is jus made for parkin and nothin else to do. And by this dey wanna say dat dis is an expensive car,hahah

  • That parking system is good! You really don't need more assistance than this! And it actually teaches people to park correctly!

  • Yay! This video totally made me smile :)

    I had a horrible morning and this made my day

    Thanks! :)

  • for that price i rather a Dodge Viper ACR man lol

  • Why the heck do you need a computer to tell you how to drive? If you're that stupid, you don't deserve a driver's license. Some people are just so damn lazy....
