CL600 vs CLS55, which would you choose?
2005 CL600's are roughly the same price range as 2006 CLS55's, some even less miles than the 55's. What would you choose and why?

06 CLS55 AMG & 08 CL65 Mystic White
Cls
I had to make that choice and love the fact that I went with the CLS. There nothing on the road that looks like a CLS. and the four door coupe is hard to beat when having a full ride.
But.... I still think about CL65 quite often
And..the new body style that is coming out for the CL. What will that do to the price of the older body style?

CL65's are awesome. I was considering a CL600, which has less horse and torque than the beasty 65.

What about RELIABILITY of these cars? SC puts a constant load on the crank, whereas TC only spools up when needed. But having 2X with 1 on each bank is...only Mercedes! Most older designs I know, Supra, RX7, etc... are sequential so the timing is not as critical...
I know, when these things break you don't want to be out of warranty, I can rebuild an old muscle car, but I can never try to fix 1 of these things... but I would like to discuss the technical merit of the design.

2003 CL600
Wow, what a hard choice to make. I didnt like the CLS when they first came out, but grew to drool over them. I recently purchased a CL600 and its a stunning car. I got a great deal on it and thats why I got it. If I were to choose between the two and money wasnt an issue, I think I would choose the CLS...but again, I LOVE my CL600.
