CLS63
PHONETICS... The two car are not even close to the same type of styling Not sure what you mean by your post but I do not choose a car for it's price. A car to me is art work You like it, you love it, you feel it, you drive it, Nothing else sir. I sure hope your not buying your cars by what they cost . Oh, and Fontana race day is coming soon Jan 18th, so when I have the fastest CLS63 in the USA I will be done with the car Maybe it will sit for a while or maybe I will sell it? But that has nothing to do with the S65 (sorry juicee I just had to say it,, LOL)

Not true. Many members here drive Es or CLSs and could afford WAAAY more. You may wanna check out rarfinancial's stable before you think that cost is what he is grappling with.


Dooooo EEEEEEET!!

You gotta keep the 63 if it can break the record only give it to me if you fail ..

"is there no one else" "is there no one else"

Hey dude honestly, that is a difficult car to NOT LOVE.. Safe as hell, fast as hell, comfy as hell, nearly as sexy as the CLS, but I do like the 4 door coupe look better than the large luxo sedan..would I buy one uh.maybe

Man, not me. I think the new CL65 is a major step back in terms of looks but the new S65 looks great.

I've been researching the S65 for sometime now and it is definitely on my top ten list of cars to own. 4 seconds to 60 and lush interior that rivals bentley. the S65 is a must do if you can swing it. that's a lot of cheese, but worth even penny.

S65 is a great car. Very luxurious, very elegant, and very powerful and easy to mod. Definately go for it, and then you won't need to worry about Juicee's CLS63 any more......

Waste of money if you ask me. Those Benzes depreciate so badly in 2-3 years the car will be worth probaly 50K-60K. Get a Bentley GT.

I don't think anyone on here is willing to get a new one (due to the depreciation hit)...a CPO S65 is another thing, though. I'd pick an 08 SL65 for 193K @ my dealer today but I'd lose $50k as soon as I drive off the lot. I'd rather have someone take the hit...
