Help,

Its the 4 wheel drive worth it out in S. Cal where we get no snow or much rain? It the 4-matic take away the "pure" feeling of a performance car...like tail sliding??

Is the acceleration that much "better" with the 4 matic to justify a switch?

Hey Allen,

Take a trip down to our shop soon and take a test drive in our E63S. Both are fun in their own way. We would say the best way is to drive both and form your opinion. Thanks!

I would wait for the 2015 CLS refresh. It will be available late this year unless you are searching for deal then a 2014 on the lot could prove to be a worthy option.

2015 CLS looks like it'll come with a HUD too. I'd wait.

Unfortunately it is like the CLA and does not retract.
Even the AMG GT has it but it looks better integrated
