S55 or CL55: I chose the CL--good move?
Well, I am new here, for I just discovered the existence of this site. Well, I am glad that there is a gathering of Mercedes buffs out in the world-wide-net. Well, to get to the point of my post, I am currently am an owner of a Mercedes S430 (the short-wheelbase version that is not available in the U.S.) with the AMG package. I finally decided that it was time to upgrade and placed an order for a black CL55 (I'm a black car kind of woman). But I could have also gone for the S55. What do you think? Is the CL a good car for a person who has spent the past year or so driving the S?
Well, to be fair, I live in a house of seven (five sisters, my mother, and a close friend) and they all have their own cars, so passengers are not much of a concern. I would appreciate your comments. Thank you in advance.

I personally think the S55 is better-looking than the CL55. But I generally like sedans. After driving an S for a year, I'm sure the CL is a nice change. Can you really go wrong with either of these cars?

definately get the CL55 over the S.
I'm having a tough time deciding on my next car....CL55 or a Porsche 911 Turbo. They are two totally different cars. CL is an absolutely beautiful car, my favorite Mercedes.
Also you'll see S's all over the place, while the CL's are rare.
