Mercedes C63 amg, Bmw X5,
In my opinion if I was in your shoes and I was over 25 then I would not think twice about getting the new cls63 amg. It is simply amazing car. I would say after SLS it is the most beautiful mercedes ever made. Thats just me though=))

If you need 4 doors I think you will find it does everything the C does but is more luxurious and powerful.

Minuses: it is the first year of production. you will need to get used to driving it. Some report turbo lag.

Btw I have driven both. I liked both cars. My preference if any is immaterial.

i really think i might go for it.. the test drive went great and all i have to say is that is fast!!! the engine counldnt be more different from our m156 it only revs to about 6200rpm, but the tq is unreal, as for turbo lag is really is not noticable thats one that i was worried about but i didnt seem to notice any. I am going back on money to sit down and talk numbers and we will see where it goes from there.

Just ordered mine yesterday - make sure you play hardball; dealers will drop the price.

Good luck on your decision. The CLS is an awesome car, but it is very different from a C63. Much heavier and not nearly as nimble. The level of luxury is in another league compared to the C, so it is really a matter of what is important to you. You can't go wrong with either one.

congrats--do it, that car is hot--please get the performance pkg, I think it makes the car move beastly in appearance and obviously performance.
The interior is soooo much nicer than our Cs--so is the E63 w/ CF trim.

The CLS63 will also be my next car, unless they come out with something better in the next 2-3 years.
If I traded in my C63 now I'd be less worried about the depreication hit I'd take compared to what my divorce would cost
Besides I only have 3000mls on my little beast.

Enjoy and post results on your deal, options, etc.

haha.


Trolling the forum waiting for my C63, I've now picked up a new obsession, the new CLS63.

Now I need two new cars.

Thanks guys.

Luckily I can sell my condo and live in the back of the CLS63.
