Yeah whatever you do stick with the CL55 or CL600. I like the paddle-shifters, the V8 sound and the AMG bodywork on the CL55, but either one will blow the CLK55 out of the water. Not to mention, it is kind of a girls car.

CLK is less refined and luxurious but cheaper to maintain.
I am biased though, just bought a CL600...

Depending on your taste and wallet, The CL55 is a great car, the CL65 is a great beast. The CLK55 lacks the seat feel and handling. The CL600 is a performance car with a conservative look, lacks AMG appeal. Nothing common about a CL55. No modding needed.

Ok thanks so far guys. I found 3 cars that I will be buying next week
2004 CL55 55k miles
2004 CL600 42k miles
and
2006 CLS500 36k miles
All are completely stock and within 2k price tag of one another. Does a CLS hold a torch to the CL55 or CL600? The only thing I can think of is either CL's will out perform the CLS but the CLS is more up to date . So I'm asking you CL guys would you go and buy your same CL if given the chance to go back and make the decisions between these 3 vehicles.
But if you guys wanted to know, I'm leaning more towards the CL55 ONLY because I've heard less issues with the 55 than the 600. If I am wrong you guys can fill me in please.

CL600, E30 325i Previous ride CL55 2004
Go with CL, forget the cls unless it's an AMG car. I like the CL55 because of the few things that you get that you don't have in CL600, shifters, better seats, quad exhaust, bigger brakes. On the other hand the CL600 interior is much nicer than the one in 55, it's faster too, but I don't think that its more fun to drive then the CL55.
If I was to buy again and had to choose from 55 or 600 I would still go with 55. 65 is the way to go though.
