MB CLS OR LEXUS GS

I can't make up my mind.

Well well, it is time for me to purchase another car. I am giving up the coupe world for a while.
After much research the two cars it has come down to is a MB CLS or LEXUS GS.
It's obvious I value everyone opinion here b/c I seem to visit the website everyday. Everyone let me know your honest opinion. Remember the cars cost about the same used, so price is not a problem.

MB CLS:
PROS:
Exterior
Prestige
Nice Acceleration/a blast to drive

Cons:
Small for a 4 door car/Not a big deal
Poor Radio
Below standard interior, compare to my MB CL500
Insurance a little higher


LEXUS GS
PROS:
Reliability
Radio
I like the interior
More room
Low Key

CONS:
I do not care for the exterior.
Feel sluggish
Less prestige
Not that exciting to drive

If you want something like a CLS but with a much better interior and more room, why not get an E? The E is extremely elegant and still understated, I cannot find many faults if any with that car. Either way, the GS, like any Toyota product, reminds me more of an appliance than a car.

I'm looking at a GS430 or GS450H. I just found a CLS55 at my local dealership for 53K so I may try my best to purchase this car this weekend. I honestly can't see myself in a E unless it's a 55 or 63. It's too many regular E classes rolling around DC.

CLS55 or E55/63 is the way to go if you ask me...I personally would choose the CLS

Well then your choice is obviously not based on finding the most suitable car for your purpose, rather a status symbol...
