05 E55 AMG or 06 CLS500

Hello,

I am torn between these two cars and I found them to be of comparable price. If you were in my situation, which one would you choose and why.

Thx,

Yves.

Depends, what is your situation?

Form or function - you must choose which is more important.

The CLS shape is like a seductive siren that calls you, the E55 may perform in bed but you will be imagining it's another woman :-)

CLS55 FTW!

I was in the same dilemma 2 months agao and went for the CLS500. It is the right choice because when I see a E55 on thr road, I think the better looking CLS500 is defintely worth the sacrifice in performance.

However, you better make sure you get a good used CLS500 or else you will regret it and think you should have got an E55.

I'm partial to the E55 ! The CLS has the flash, but the E55 will brighten your day every time hit the accelerator.

e55 for sure...i had a cls500 before and you have several things that you'll regret...at least i did...1) it's VERY long and hard to park sometimes, 2) you'll feel ripped off big time cuz there's a 550 engine which is 80 more hp than yours and 3) you'll regret not getting an amg when you had the chance!
