I agree. Besides, you see Mercedes at every corner in Beverly Hills.

I think this would be much more appropriate, not to mention roomier, more comfortable and a smoother ride...

Hm. I dunno, I'm 6'2, and didn't feel like I was want for space in the CLS... in the back, the sloping roof bothered me a bit, but I'd never spend much time back there so it's not a big deal to me. The S is bigger and their top-of-the-line sedan; I just like the look of the CLS... nice, svelte-looking thing... also, because I learned to drive on a track before I even got my license, I tend to err on the side of a tight bucket seat over a

Anyways... to my original point with my comparison: if you like the UES more than BH, that's fine. But these completely hamfisted comments about BH "being like an all you can eat buffet" are dumb in a league with saying that San Francisco's Union Square is filled with rastas and hippies groovin' to Bob Marley. Oh, wait...

They are rare but seen around occasionally. Ferraris, Aston Martins, Lambos, Bentley, Maseratis, I see on a daily basis around beverly hills and west hollywood.

as our friend noted, occasionally. Ive seen probably 3 or 4 in my three months here, not counting the black and yellow one thats always in front of the Bijan store. Theyre actually kind of ugly, imho.

I do see Ferraris, Astons, Lambos, etc constantly. Theres a Ferrari dealer about four blocks from me... Last night, i passed by a McLaren SLR parked on the street... All manner of classic cars like Mustang fastbacks, Jags, etc as well.

Those cars are very rare for even NY or LA, the place where you have the highest chance to see them is Miami. In Miami I have seen maybe three or four Veyron's in the last four years which is saying a lot since you see Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Bentley's, Aston Martin's, Rolls Royce, Maserati's, etc practically every day. I am actually subscribed to their magazines and there the largest concentration of Veyron's are in the Miami area, followed in order by NY area, LA area, Houston area, Las Vegas area, Dallas area, and SF area. After those metros every other metro may have anywhere between one to three Veyron's but the aforementioned metros all have five or more. DC, Atlanta, and Chicago are almost there but only have two each in their metros

I've bicycled a few times in the Beverly Hills area. Parked my car near the intersection of Sunset Blvd/North Canon Dr/North Beverly Dr. and took my bicycle out of the car and bicycled in the area. A nice park at that intersection.

I prefer Beverly Hills because of the architecture and it has more elbow room. I also like SoCal weather better.

UES is alright. It's upscale but not very interesting, very sleepy part of Manhattan. I actually like the UWS better. Beverly Hills seems to have more vibrancy than UES.

They are both bullsh** places. I worked in Beverly Hills and it is humorous, just laughable 90% of the time...it's a joke put simply, nothing there worth your time unless you have a sense of humour, or you like all the balmy unauthentic "glamour". The UES definitely offers more on a cultural level than BH, and I would rather be stuck there anyday...but it equally bothers with its over-the-top pretentiousness and almost suburban-like mentality. Of course this may sound like I am just hating on posh areas in general...but personally I actually like many, however BH and the UES are just unimpressive and annoying.
