My Observation....
I purchased a 2007 CLS 550 (3) months ago and couldn't be happier. At the same time, I purchased a (6) year warrenty for an additional $3000.00 which is the life of the loan.
After browsing 50-odd pages of CLS threads, I have noticed the 2006 CLS to have the most problems.
Good luck and be sure to post your decision....
