Not yet out here in Chicago. Typically a month behind the release date in the magazine. Should see it in 2.5 -3 weeks.

CLS55 AMG
read it.. it simply states that the cls55 amg is more exciting to drive, less controllable due to the amount of torque, but more fun nonetheless...

and they say that buying a cls63 amg is not justifiable when you can get a nice cls55amg for 70% of the price

Interesting. That's exactly the same conclusion that I came up with when test driving the two last month. And most of my driving is going to be stoplight to stoplight and daily commuting, not high-rev canyon carving or track burning. For my purposes, the 55 is a much more entertaining ride. I'll concede lap times all day long for the grin of the 0-60 push!

I agree with that. I'm not spending much time at the track AT ALL.

Torque is what I need
