CL 63 or Granturismo

I am selling my CLK 55 (208) and will get either a CL 63 or a Maserati Granturismo. Which car would you get and why? Thanks.

I'd go with the CL63. It has far more power, more luxury, and IMO it looks better. Good luck with your choice!

really hard choice , both sick cars in its own way , drive both and buy what you really like , cl63 is insane and might look better than maserati to some , but i think maserati has more character.

All things being equal, it's a tough choice. I would lean towards the CL63 AMG, but if you got the Granturismo, get a small car for a daily driver and drive the Maser on the weekends.

Don't forget that Fiat owns Ferrrari (and soon Chrysler!)

I'd go with the Maserati -- it is absolutely gorgeous. But both are great cars.

Maserati exhaust note is oh so sexy! And they have real transmissions in them. I'd love to have one with a nice set of wheels on it bc the factory ones are generally hideous.
