Damier Canvas

Hi Guys

I'm kinda new i just registered last night. I have been thinking alot lately about getting a new car. My current one which ill be selling soon (although i love it so darn much) a 2001 imola red M5. Anyway, back to the subject, could you guys help me pick one of these 2 cars (CLS55 OR SL55). Whatever i choose will be white with red interior so... ya lol need your help

Thanks

clkcadet

since your used to the 4 door i say cls55, its so classy and when you get that color combo ill be the first to drool all over my keyboard

How about both?

Hard call. Very different cars. Do you need more than 2 seats? Are you looking for top down capabilities?

Damier Canvas

Both aren't impossible but i'd rather take the safe side and ask for 1 than get my *** kicked from my dad lol im 22 & still at college :P he'll be payin not me hehe

Schiznick

In college, get the SL

Damier Canvas

its true that i was confused about which one to get but ill probably go for the CLS cause all my friends are saying its kinda late to get an SL55 now + the CLS is new and looks hot so ill more likely go for the CLS

SL55 hands down. Nothing is prettier than the SL.

This is more directed at everyone, not some college kid. I did have both, and my SL had red interior. I didnt know the CLS came with red interior. I preferred the SL cuz it's 2 cars in one and having the top down is sweet.

Umm Doctodd no offense but if being 22 is still a kid to you i wonder how old you may be... i just asked for some help no need to throw words at each other and yes the CLS does come with red interior the dealer in my country doesn't have any in stock so its a 3 month wait for either the SL or CLS might as well wait for something more unique

Doctodd is around 83 years old Just kiddin!

The SL looks much better than the CLS.

22 yr old KID should drive Toyota Corolla or if Mercedes than only A,B,C Classes [if daddy's rich] :p
SL is more exclusive, CLS is more stylish.
i don't know where do you live but sl 55 amg seems to be more expensive than cls.
you should ask yourself what kind of car exactly do you need - 2-seat roadster or 4-door coupe/limusine. these are 2 very different vehicles...
go for a walk and think out, sleep on we won't be responsible for bad choice

I was just being a smartass cuz im jealous that i wasnt so spoiled/priviledged 13 years ago when i was 22.

ps....like i said, the SL55 was much more exciting and fun, even if there are more on the road than CLS55's. With the top down and the revving of the engine right behind you, it isnt a hard decision. You can probably test drive an SL55 and E55. The E55 is pretty close to a CLS55 when you are inside. Then my advice is to take a couple of days to think about it. I miss my SL55 much more than my CLS55.

Kubazzz

so why did you sell them and return to X5 [which is also a great car ]?

vraa

Because the X5 > any thing.

Evolution Marine

Damier Canvas - Don't want rain on your parade but the CLS55 does not have a red interior option. It only has Charcoal, Ash, or Cashmere Beige. Check this link out. http://www.mbusa.com/brand/index.jsp - Bob

Both financial and physical self preservation. I needed to lower my debt for some other more important commitments.....and driving in Miami is MUCH safer in an X5.

Come on Doc, tell them the real reason.

Okay guys, he's my protege.

MB Tech - USA

Evo -

He didn’t specify what country he was from – red may be available in other countries besides the good old USA.

The SL55 has the Active Suspension System (ABC) which is hands down better than the Dual Control Airmatic suspension that is on the CLS55. I would say the SL55 handles better, but still only seats 2 and I would agree, the CLS looks very cool. Your dollar, your call.

Theirs my 2 cents....

Kubazzz

red interior for CLS is available in Europe

Kubazzz

what is better than an X5??

Two X5s

Personally, I hate buying an old model. The new SL is coming soon. The current model is not selling. Cars are being dumped on dealers lots here in Southern California. With that said, you should be able to get a deal on one.

Kubazzz

don't be silly the SL is not old. simpel facelifting is planned but NOT new model.

Ken Rogers

Whatever you want to call it, it's a change and the dealers will tell you that the current model is not selling and the factory is dumping units on them. Just ask your dealer.

Kubazzz

you're right. it is not unusual. but still i wouldn't say that current SL is 'old'. now there is an opportunity to select exact car, not paying over msrp

phonetics

Coming soon as in what year ??
