Why you need the F550 for?? Well anyway I would personally recommend the CL55 especially if you don't have more than 2 or 3 people in your house. Don't forget that the CL does cost about $8,000 more than the S55! But it's very much worth it seeing how it will hold it's value much better than the S55! Just my 2 cents!

to drive daily i would take the ferrari, but im 25 
I would say the CL55, but because i love to race people in sleeper cars, i would get a new E-55, pull the badges and go whip up on our turbo friends.
Also consider the CL600, twin trubo V12. that just sounds fast as hell.

How bout you keep your p-car and get the gemballa kit! Why trade one of the best sportscars for a pasta burner? Keep the porsche and trick it out, imho. Or trade for one of the few inported 959 S 
way awesome car!!! There is about 15 of them in the US now and more are coming. Check out Excellence last months issue.

As incredible as the F550 is, the MB is a better daily driver. You have to DRIVE a Ferrari. The Benz will drive itself. In other words, you'll be more comfortable and feel more relaxed in the Benz. I drove a 575 on a few trips and founds myself exhasted afterwards. It was fun as hell but for some reason I was more tense than after the same trip in the SL55 or E55.

I say CL55, almost just as fast... and a hell of a lot more comfortable. From what I've heard and read, Ferraris aren't the most reliable cars out there..and service/repairs take long times to complete and stuff.

CL55 and get the Ferrari as a weekender.
The E55 is also a great car for daily driving the cars are all fast and comfortable the Ferrari is Fast but not as comfortable.
Glade to see you on the MB forums

I think family of 4 would fit pretty comfortably in a CL55. But S55 will offer the best room and stuff over all...while still being fast a hell!

if you have money to burn... get it all... but if just 1, and as a daily driver.. i'd say scratch the F550... maintenance on those cars are insane...
between the S55 or CL55... that just depends on whether you want coupe or sedan... i'll opt for the CL55

I would say more reliable than Porsche and Ferrari. And I've heard service and repair on Ferraris and other exotics take a long time because they are so rare, parts aren't available quickly.
