A little OT, but how do you compare the CLS to the CL ?
I am in a dilemma about changing my CL for a CLS 55AMG.

I have not seen a CLS in the metal as yet, UK is always last in the queue.
Can anyone give me a comparison on rear passenger space/legroom etc & trunk space for both vehicles.
Any help would be grateful.

Cheers in advance.

After seeing both, the CL almost seems dated compared to the CLS. The lines and styling of the CLS are beautiful. I also find the rear door design to fit perfectly as to almost make you forget they're there. I have always been quite a fan of the CL, but after seeing the CLS, the decision on which to buy was easy.

stickyc, if you drove a CL600 would you trade in for a CLS 55 ?
without seeing the car this is a huge dilemma for me, I am first on the dealers list to take delivery in the summer but I guess I will have to wait until a 350 or 500 hits the deck at the showroom & judge the car for myself.
