05 E55 AMG or 06 CLS500

Hello,

I am torn between these two cars and I found them to be of comparable price. If you were in my situation, which one would you choose and why.

Thx,

Yves.

E55.
Speed beats styling (at least in this case.)

I was in the same predicament...

Drive the E55 and it will be a no brainer....

If you only care for style, make sure you get the AMG package on the CLS 500

but honestly, never drive an E55 after you buy the cls cause you will feel really dumb

Bought my 05 E55 and loving every minute of it...no matter howm many CLS500 i see on the road

Get a sell out CLS, if you have any doubts. I assume this car is for LA? Never fear, all the AMG badging can be added.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
No contest whatsoever, E55 FTMFW.
However, if you absolutely have to have the styling of the CLS, you can probably pick up a low mile CLS55 for not much more than a CLS550.

if you have to ask this question then you really have no use for a 500hp car, am i right?

you should be deciding between a e550 and cls500

+1

And maybe a wing, to make it more stylish and go faster.
