Artic Blue? Decisions, decisions...
Anyone have any pics of the Artic Blue color in CLS class? Have a 17K CLS 500 (06) and wondering if I am out of my mind upgrading to the CLS63 or simply the 07 CLS550. Would appreciate what u think I could expect to get from a dealer by selling my car(virtually mint condition and totally loaded apart from distronic) and I know the price for the 63 is about $110K (I don't want distronic) and what would the price for the 550 fully loaded be...........?
The 550 has the extra HP and the 63 is off the charts...........................the wife insists on trying to get me to drive..how shall we say............slower these days, so wondering if I really need all those extra horses and if so would she/I....................(well I don't care)..notice a firmer ride?
Appreciate your comments....just not sure what to do.............

I'll say shop for an used CLS 55. I am sure Vadim has couple lying around in his lot. Personally, i dislike the 63 and 500. Not enough power, but like you said in your posts, maybe you dont need that extra horsies.

I agree, go with a preowned 55. Once you drive it you'll know why. Don't take the hit on buying a new 63 when you are trading in a "new" 06 year car.

I did as you are considering, switch from a CLS500 to a CLS63. I could not be any happier with my decision. As my wife now says when she drives with me (as her arms are pushed against the dash) - "I have a lot of trust in you!"

Don't get me wrong, I love the 63. It's about the money factor when you know you cannot loose either way. Use the money you save to buy upgrades!

Dont get me wrong...I LOVE THE 55. and I agree the savings would be alot better and be the deciding factor. My 63 was an incredible bargain so I "had" to get it
