CL63 or CL550 (W216) ?? Need Advice
Hi All,
I am trying to decide between a 2012 CL550 (Designo, Prem2, AMG Sport Pkg) or a 2012 CL63 AMG (Prem2)
I drove the CL550 and it seemed more than adequate in the power dept. and I kind of liked the Lux plus Power combo. and really like the idea of having 4matic.
Driving the CL63 today, the CL63 looks much cooler to me, and sounds amazing, I have had a couple of V12 Ferraris and am used to the having a car with decent rumble, and really like it over the CL550.
This will not be a primary driver and I already have an SUV for Snow and Ice.
Both are CPO so will be under warranty and I am sure I'll extend.
At the end of the day, I am weighing 2 wheel drive and 4matic, and am concerned the CL63 could get unwieldy on anything other than dry and warm pavement. (Please let me know if this is true.)
Any other pros and cons?
Price is close enough not to make a difference. Any input would be appreciated.

I'd go with the AMG everytime given the choice. If you need awd and will be driving on snow and ice, get the 550. The traction control works great on either one.
