SL
neither of them will turn heads.... maybe C63 can do that in the first 2 months... but after more and more on street... it will just end up be another C class.. which is an entry level benz.... in my country... not even a porsche can turn heads... it has to be at least ferrari or lambo to do the job..

C63, SLK55
CLS55\63 is anything but entry level too
! And in all honesty, the C63 is a sexy car and I would have definitely kept it on my wish list if it wasn't for the cheap looking interior!! Interior is the real deal breaker for me on this one!!! The dumbo ear looking side mirrors are ugly too...but I’m sure those could be fixed by fabricating smaller aftermarket mirrors.

C32 T 2003. Mods? MANY!! :)
For me there are no question on what I would take, C63 for sure!
So much meaner and nicer sound to it!
Will turn more heads when you floor it, for sure!

for me, i could care less if it's an "entry" level car or what people think 
, i'm getting the C63 b/c it's a badass sport sedan that will be super quick in the straights and around turns 
. i think the E and CLS AMGs are great cars but not that fun to toss around.

Mercedes Benz
Clarkson was slumping down big time and he should have said it was better suited for anne boleyn not regular people
I love how it looks though. It is the sexiest MB yet.
I would go for the C63 of the two.

At the end of all this people arguing their opinions here is what you should do. Just test drive and pick what feels better to you and since the CLS is used in what you are planning to get then sit in a new CLS63 also so the new car smell doesn't win you over with the C63.

This isn't even a dilemma, there's no question involved, it's the CLS55 hands down period end of story.
I'm not even going to elaborate.

2005 C55
I'm having trouble making a choice. My current and previous daily drivers have been AMG C class. I'm torn between a used CLS55/63 or a new C63. The C63 looks like the best 4dr driver MBZ ever built. But the AMG CLS got the looks all over it, even though its fast in a straight line, I'm sure it handles like a pig. It might depend on the price of a new C63 and I still have a new M-3 4door in the back of my mind. It's good to have these kind of problems compared to picking a used pinto over a vega or a gremlin.
