The Godfather needs a new car!

In the words of my good friend Allied107 "You ain't never been the same since you sold your E55."

Yeah, I agree.

With that said, having had a few cars since, including tracking down and buying back my S4 Avant (which I sold almost 3 weeks ago), it's time for me to get something else.

I still have my Lexus GS350 which I need to get rid of: http://www.luxury4play.com/autos-aut...ly-loaded.html

Anyway, I'm contemplating spending $40K OTD if I can. I don't wanna spend more. Although that kinda screw things up because there are some nice things around $50K....

So right now I'm looking at W221 S550 and CLS55 AMG.

What do you think I should get, why and why not? I'm seriously torn.

The W221 MUST have the sport package, which proves to be difficult in that price range.

MUST have black interior and under 60K miles (50K and under preferred). Those are my requirements.

Ext. color, doesn't matter, I favor white (hard to find w/ black interior) and silver, and then black last.
