Hi Guys
Thinking about changing the car to CLS , Can't believe the price difference between the CLS 350 & CLS 500 UK is about £9000 or $16,200 for what appears to be only a bigger engine !What are your thoughts on the CLS with full Factory fit AMG Body Kit & Wheels 19" Mhhhh

A guy on the GermanCarFans CLS forum gave me links to a couple of reviews he did and I thought they were v helpful

In the end it is of course personal choice but having read just about every review on the web and in print on the CLS (and I'm not joking!!), it seems that if the reviewer is looking purely at the grunt factor, the 500 will always win. However, those giving a more balanced view consistently say that the 350 engine is absolutely top notch in the CLS.
My own view (backed up by my order) is - go for the 350 and spec it up nicely
