if i were to purchase an 03 it would definately be the CL55. this car is an instant classic. all of the new AMG's are terrific. if you only need to carry 4 people in a pinch and 2 is the usal then it is definately the CL55.

E55 or SL55 depending on what your after.
I would say the CL55 in a heartbeat but the simple fact that a model refresh is due in the next 2 years automatically exlucdes it from my list.

Ah, the luxury of choices. Perhaps waiting for the 65AMG is a good idea. As far as which body style, my order or preference would be SL, CL, E, S.
I'd take the SL first because I think it is the prettiest to my eye and it's a hardtop coupe or open convertible whenever you want. The CL if you need more space and the E or S if you need the sedan.

OK so you already have a practical car that is good all weather, can carry a load, tow a boat, and carry 4 people comfortable. What is the point of another 4 door?! I would go for an SL or a CL. The CL is more comfortable, quieter, can still carry 4 in a pinch, has a real trunk... its more rare.... a lot of ordinary people don't even know what a CL is...
The SL is convertible. Its more of a sports car than the CL.
I own an SUV as well, and it was a tough call between the CL and SL. But the CL won me over with its comfort. I have never in my life been as comfortable in a car as I am in my 600. It is not as rough as an SL. But in warm waether, for shorter rides, the SL is more fun.
I really don't know why you would want an E or an S when you already have a G.

but this is fif I had the choice I have the 3 that you are considering and that is a tough choice.The SL is the most fun and the sound of the exhaust is music to a car nut.
The CL is drop dead gorgeous and while it can carry 4 people it really is not that practical. Entry to the rear seat is fairly easy but egress is best suited for a contortionist. Good performance but it feels calm in comparison to the SL.
The S is by far the most practical and is a real sleeper since most people don't know that the big sedan has a big set of *****. By far the most fun at red lights.

Honestly for a coupe, its one of THE most comfortable back seats. I have had no complaints from any of the 20-something year old women in mine. :p

Lucky you. Unfortunately the only 20- something year old woman that rides in mine is my daughter. Wait until you get a "few" years older and you will see that Yao would have an easier time than we more mature folks.I will agree that once you are seated that it is quite comfortable for a coupe.
