Is the CLS55 Becoming the New Beast (E55) ?
It sure seems that a lot of Forum posters are getting CLS55's. It also seems that they seem to be readily available. Is the CLS55 the new Beast or are they sufficiently different that both will be successful and desired ?

4 wheels
Main difference would be looks and functionality. The E55 can fit 5 people with comfort. The CLS can fit 4 people in pure luxury.

You get one of the above in each of them and a little less of the other.

LOL!

E55 is the new beast because the M5 was the old one. The Beast can only be the M5 or the E55, nothing else.

Oops, you're right. It's has to be a 5-series or E-Class.
