c55 or cls500???

Hallo all,
I am new to this forum. I need some feedback on my "problem". I am currently leasing a s430 and the lease will end next yr march. I am choosing between a c55 and cls500. I want a faster car (compared to my s430) but is the c55 too small??? Moreover, the c class is going to change completely in a year or two. BTW, my budget is about 70k. Please gimmi your opinions. Feel free to suggest a different car.

Thanks!!! in advance!

Well i own a C55 and it's an awesome car, but what you are comparing are two completely different cars. Both will be faster, the C55 much faster. But if you're looking for room, i would say go for the CLS, though i have yet to see one, my car is not very roomy, but as long as im comfortable, i don't care...

I have 50 reasons to buy c55
and also I have 50 reasons to buy CLS500
CLS500 is latest technology and higher class than C55 if money is not issue.
100% go and buy CLS500 fully loaded !
