2006 CLS500 with 55 AMG motor, 2008 Infiniti G35, 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager

The original "poll" posted by Small Throttle was about the CLS55:
So to compare apples to apples, we much compare the North American sales of the CLS55 for 2006 (the only year the CLS55 was produced) to the sales of the E55 for 2006. This is done by going to the AMG Private Lounge and reviewing the sales data:
CLS 55 AMG
2006 2765
E 55 AMG
2006 1187
So comparing same year model sales, it's clear the E55 was the more "exclusive" choice for 2006 if you determine exclusivity by sales volume. If the CLS55 had been offered for sale for all of the same model years as the E55, who knows, perhaps the result would have been different.
Now when you move into the "63" era of both chassis', you do find the CLS not selling as well as its E stablemate:
CLS 63 AMG
2007 699
2008 634
E 63 AMG
2007 1353
2008 1063
It's far more likely that the fewer sales of the two models reflect buyer fatigue with both body styles, but particularly the W219 chassis since its sales dropped off far more precipitously. For the W219, that's not an indication of exclusivity, it's more likely a clear indication of my original post regarding the W219 design; that it simply hasn't aged well as a design.

I think allot of people that wanted a CLS couldn't buy it for different reasons.
Too tall for the short roofline, nagging wife wanting a full back seat, etc, etc......
I have a friend with a WRX, and he loves his car! He can clearly afford a CLS55, but he will never buy a Mercedes. I'm just trying to say that there is a special car out there for everyone.
Even if it's a CLS500!

Hey Full Throtte, I own a cls55.
Please for the love of God, STFU. Your single purpose seems to be going around this board to hate on others and build up your own obviously pathetic, insecure ego. You are a real embarrassment to the cls community. You don't see w211 owners starting "polls" (what a eff'in joke that is btw) about how much better looking the w211 is, do you? I can totally understand why a thread was started hoping to have you banned over on the w211 forum.
I guess your parents didn't teach you the sayings "if you don't have anything nice to say, shut your mouth" or "to each their own".....
You are a hater pure and simple. Enjoy your car, mod it, whatever.
Guess what? Noone gives a S-H-I-T.

LOL. Now you know you are configuring the stats to look good in your favor. That was first model year of the CLS55..of course it will sell a lot. Also the W211 E55 was on its 4th year at that point. So you would have to combine total sales from those 4 years and then compare. I have nothing against w211's(that was my first benz, pretty lil thing ) but the CLS is way more exclusive. I would even go as far as saying the CLS500 is more exclusive than the e55.
ANYWAY, cant we allllll jsut get along?? Were on the same team. What happened to the good ol' days when we only hated on our rivals the BMW team. lol

Holy no spin zone batman. If thats not the worst counter point spin i have ever seen in my life i, then i dont know what is. If nothing else it reinforces my point. Thanks for the confirmation that once again proves that more buyers preferred the CLS55 over the E55 *bravo*

Jeez, repeat yourself much? You do love to hear yourself talk, don't you Fullocrap? That is a trait usually predominent only in the females of our species.
Look, despite your incessant droning, you will likely never get an e55 owner to 1. fawn all over your cls or 2. regret their choice.
It will also not fix the length or girth of your man unit. I don't have any personal experience with this, but i believe if you stay up late at night and catch some of the info-mercials, and/or try googling "p*enis enlarger", you may have better luck.

I couldn't possibly care any less than i do at this exact moment what a bunch of dudes on the internet think about me, or my car. You're nothing more than time killing entertainment at best. What i do know is i absolutely love it, each and every person that has seen it in real life loves it. Now to add insult to injury, all the women that have ever seen it go freaking bananas over my car.
Current poll results.
CLS= 43 votes
E55= 10 votes

you forgot to repeat your infamously dorky "Boom headshot" line
you also forgot to include the 7 votes for "die fullocrap" data, which IS statistically significant btw.
since you seem to be the expert pollster, could you please twist the rules a bit and allow me one more vote?

My wife does not need to have my "nuts in a jar" in order for me to have a modicum of respect towards her and not spout off all over the internet about how "cool" i am because i drive a car that drives women "friggen bananas". Please don't have kids (please tell me you don't already?!). Trust me, you're not ready. If my kid ever acts anything like you i will slap the crap outta him AND disown him!
You being married doesn't have anything to do with women complimenting your car, it is the fact that you feel the need to boost your ego by mentioning that girls go "friggen bananas over my car" that is telling.
Fullohate, i will leave your lame poll thread now, as it is painfully clear to everyone (yes, even those not expressing it) that you are a little (figuratively and/or physically) man full of hate and bitterness who needs to boost his own, insecure, pathetic ego by pounding his chest about how "cool he is".
Congrats! You are a case study on insecurity in the most basic of psychology textbooks.
Happy holidays!

Geez, you really are that dumb. You can't come up with a simple ratio (did you pass HS math?).
Let me spell it out for you again; your post average is astronomically higher than mine. Thus your assertion that I have no social life while you do, is pure BS, as is pretty much everything that you vomit from your keyboard.
Do you actually want me to do the math for you?
now, my other commuter car is a 2006 honda civic hybrid. A car that i'm sure someone of your low self-esteem wouldn't be caught dead in because women don't go "friggen bananas" over it.....
