CLS In the snow
I mentioned this in another thread but thought it more appropriate to start a unique thread.
I live in Denver. Last winter was very very mild. The city seems to do a great job of clearing out the major roads whenever there's a snow. I don't have very far to go in order to get out to a major road so I think I'm good to go in that respect.
That being said, when there is snow, how does the CLS handle? I've heard reports of the Lexus SC-430 being horrible in the snow (and at the same time I've heard people say it's fine with snow tires) and, if I was to get a CLS, I would most certainly get snow tires. The reports about the Lexus make me wary of RWD cars for sure.
Anyone have any experience with this car in the snow, and, what's your opinion? Should I break down and just get an E-550 4MATIC instead?

Yeh your right, the CLS is crappy in Snow. I stay in North of Scotland and we tend to get alot up here aswell.
I actually considered purchasing a used beaten up 4x4 for the winter...but i purchased a set of Winter Tyres and plunked them onto the 19" AMG's
With the correct tyres for the correct season on the car, all i can say is the CLS handles great. Probably better than a beaten up 4x4 i would have bought, well ok maybe not but its good.

Here is the exhaust modification,

in the exhaust box delivery you have stickers that shows you where to cut the back bumper.
when cut you take you the exhaust line and cut the pipe. you have to be carefull and mesure the exhaust
