CLK55 or E55 ???

If you could have a 2001 E55 AMG or a 2001 CLK55 AMG with the same miles, in the same condition for the same price, which would you choose and why?

That's the decision I'm trying to make, and here's your chance to get your two cents in.

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

i'd deffinatly get the clk55 if you don't need the added doors and space. I don't really like the looks of the previous E class much but the old CLK is by far one of the nicest cars benz has made.

If you have family or entertain clients then E55 is the better choice. But if you are single and don't need the back seat, then CLK55 is the obvious choice. I have both because I use E55 for family trip and my wife use it as daily car now. And I use CLK for solo driving most of the time, like to work, golf etc. CLK55 is fun to drive but not very practical with a baby seat in the back, which I have.

I admire New Yorkers who can afford AMG as family cars and we could only do this here with Toyota Camry
