Can not decide!

Hello, I'm thinkin' about a benz, and I'm down to 3 models (New SL 500(388bhp)- ML 63 AMG or CLS 55 AMG) they all about the same price, ML is a little more expensive. Don't suggest SL 55, it's too much expensive than those 3. And maybe I can consider the upcoming CL 500, but don't have an idea about the prices.

What do you think about those 4?

well do you need 4x4 and alot of cargo space? If yes go for ML63

CLS55 = very little space at the back, very fast car.

sl500 = coupe and convertable.


They are 3 completely different cars. I'd go with CLS55 just coz im speed maniac.

SL500 is not 380hp. If the SL550 is out, then it would. The SL500 is 302hp.

Those are all a matter of choice. VERY different cars. All benzes , so that is no issue. Get the one you like!!

I don't think CLS55 is a lot faster than ML 63. I don't need a lot of cargo space, but 4x4 is important so much. If SL would have some more room in the back like the old SL's do, I would not compare, but now I can not decide really..

I believe the CLS63 will be out shortly...the clk63 already came out in europe...it is a matter of time for the cls63 to come out..

The cls is the most gorgeous care out there...I would take it a thousand times before the ml63 and the new sl..

The Ml63 is not as fast as the CLS55. Simple as that. One is an SUV and one is a sports sedan. You need to pic the type of car you want. sedan vs coupe vs suv. All are great choices. I love the look on all, although I am partial to the E vs CLS.
