Aren't they technically the same car?

They look similar to each other but trust me they are diff in every aspect. The CL is way sexier and the 63 is a beast.

Who is to say that the "sexier beast" wouldn't have the same problems?

I would not be dumping an S550 and buying a CL63 to get rid of problems! But if you buy an extended warranty for your S550, or get a CL63 that's under warranty, then at least the problems don't cost you money.

The CL63 is no more reliable than the S550.
