CLS550 or SL550?
I know this is probably not the right board, but as I have a CLS500..going to ask anyway. Went with the wife to the Merc dealer today and she caught sight of a SL550 and said.."this is nice..how's about one of these?" I mean does she realize the price difference
Anyway, Manager comes out and says I have a fully loaded(I mean the works) coming in next week(and to make matters worse) Designo Mystic white edition...................................me seeing dollar bills exploding before my eyes!!!
Now I was originally actually looking at the CLS63..or rather thinking about upgrading to this..but although I like the extra horses, I just don't need the power, so ruled this out and actually quite liked the SL550..........................so, and try not to be too biased on our board here as I also have a fondness for the CLS shape and need some wisdom here and wonder if I have completely lost my mind or should I just do it.obviously two totally different shapes and beasts, but HP is roughly the same and actually wondered which of the two is more powerful? However..appreciate all comments and try to be gentle.........

definetly go for the cls550 i own a s550 cls550 and a sl550 and i would have to say out of all three of them the cls is the combination of an sl performance with s class function. hands down coming from owning all three the cls is definetly the way to go.

You own a s550, sl550, and cls550.....why wouldnt you get a CLS55...or SL 55....or a maybe a s600...why all 550's.....sounds strange that you bought them all this year and bought them all with the same engine????

I knew it was probably 
Who buys a CLS550, S550 and SL550 at the same time without considering AMG models etc......you know they are all 07's if they are 550's....so many posers on here.
