Traded the E55 for a CLS55

After posting a thread about trading the E55 for a SL55 and doing some test driving, I decided to trade the E55 for a 2006 CLS55 a few weeks ago. As much as I love the SL, it just wasn't going to be as practical for me with 4 kids. I usually take a couple of them with me on runs to the store, etc. I liked the E55, but I love the look of the CLS55 better and it is a tad more luxurious inside to me and the seats are much more comfortable. Plus the E55 looks too much like all the other E-classes on the road. Thanks for everyone's input and advice. I posted a couple of pics on the E55 thread.
