Why CLS

The CLS is likely the best looking 4 door car I have ever seen.

They are completely different cars. The s-class is luxurious but an absolute pig to drive hard in the canyons. The cls was designed for the e-class driver that wanted a lot more sport. While they're magnificent cars, every time I see an s-class I expect to see swiss flags pasted on the front hood and diplomatic plates! Definately an old world cruiser.

I couldn't afford it when I was 24...but just for you, I'll promise to trade my CLS for an S before I get too old, like 48!

Apples to Oranges. Why not change it to "Why did you choose the CLS over
the other vehicle(s) you were considering?"(if there was one) It our case it was the CLS55,645i.Was on the list for the 55 changed it to the 500. Building a new home soon and if we(I) would have spent the extra premium they were/are still getting here for the 55 I probably would have been sleeping in it as well.
We needed the occasional use of the back seat and reguardless of what some say the CLS is much more comfortable than the back seat of the 645 plus it is "Butt" ugly imho. Oh yea the steeler here was still asking a +2500-5000 over sticker "market adjustment" No regrets. Love what I am fortunate to have.

Different animals, but I choose the CLS on pure looks, style and sex appeal.
