Noob questions! CLS63 vs. E63
Hi gang,
I'm new to MBWorld, so be easy on me. I've owned lots of high end cars before, but never an MB. I currently have an '08 X5 4.8i, a Cayenne Turbo, and 1997 911 Turbo. I bought the Cayenne Turbo to replace an Audi A8, which I loved. I *despise* the Cayenne, so I'm replacing it early.
I am trying to decide between a '07 or '08 CLS63 and an E63. Besides the obvious styling differences, are the two cars terribly different, really? I like both of them, but not really sure which way to go. I do have two small kids, so the rear seat issue is really one of having enough room for car seats (flame me if you must!).
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Are the CLS' more desirable in MB circles, or are they odd-ducks? I saw the Top Gear review that Jeremy did on the CLS 55 and he I expected him to flame it, but he was very complimentary.
Any thoughts?

Since the CLS has a more curved roofline there is less headroom in the rear. For kids its no prob. For adults 6 feet and over maybe a prob.
The CLS is more exclusive, rarer than the E, but an E63 CLS 63 are similar in performance.
Good luck! Nice problem to have lol

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to try to find a CLS 550 or something close so that I can check the space. I'll have two car seats in the back, so I don't care much about how comfy others are
