Hey guys,

I’m looking to consolidate the cars at my house and the two that are on the chopping block are a 2006 IS350 and a 2007 RS4. I would replace those cars with one of the following:

Mercedes ML63



Porche Cheyanne twin turbo




BMW M5 (SMG)



CLS63


My requirements for this car (my wife would be the main driver) are:
Somewhat practical, fast, good looking and four doors.
Any help with this decision would be greatly appreciated.

M5 is out of the question for the wifey. She'll hate the SMG and the bumpy ride. It's not a girl's car.

Cayenne Turbo is sexy as hell for a girl. CLS63 is downright gorgeous and a solid performer, no torque overload for her to accidentally T-bone a civic in a mall parking lot.

cls baby! go black on black.

Soccer mom = ML
No kids = CLS63 or E63

New GL would be nice... I think it's the GL550, or Cayenne Turbo, or even the newer Cayenne that's between the Turbo, I think it's going to be coming with a six speed!

Rock: If it was me, I'd go with the ML63 you get the best of both worlds. In our house a SUV is almost mandatory for hauling "stuff" + you get the 63's performance. Regards and best of luck with your choice! Phil

G55!!

ML63 is cool!

i have the Cayenne Turbo and am not too impressed w/ the performance. big turbo lag and feels like a big boat.

i would get the ML63 if i had to do it again.

u already have 4-door rocket sedan so i wouldn't consider the M5 or CLS63.

If you have 3 or more kids, go with the ML63. Otherwise, go with the CLS63 all the way....... it is fast, sexy, comfy, and very elegant

No comment as I have bad taste and countless PM's from Rock continue to remind me so.

Go with an SUV. ML would go great with the E but the Cayenne Turbo sounds sick and can haul ***. If the turbo has to much power go for the GTS. Good luck.

Rock

quiet................it's really for me.


Actually, I'm leaning towards the 4x4s because of our cold winters.

CLS 63 for sho...wish I can buy that..ddang

Rock

I guess my abusive and unrelenting pm's have finally made you see the light.

III II I I AMG

i say either cayenne turbo.. or cls63..

juicee63

The ML 63 sounds and looks amazing plus you rarely see em..A CLS 63 is sexy and the wife would look great driving it but you would get some real "use" out of the ML. The ML may out 60ft your 55 , LOL

E500 AMG Sport

I have to say the G55.

Check out these pics in white!

Hopefully gas mileage isn't a concern!

Question: if you have an E-class already, than why would you consider a CLS-class? Its basically the same car with different body panels

I would say go with the new cayenne turbo and get a GIAC flash for it




P.S. If you do get one, make sure you get the one with Panorama Roof:

Rock

The only reason I was considering a CLS63 is so I could film numerous side by side runs with my E55......... then, I could endlessly torture Juicee by posting a new video clip everyday.

Addicted2Speed

Hey if your wife is down with that, go for it

Vic55

That:

A. I have bad taste
B. You suck
C. Both




As for the car you are replacing the high reving RS4 (dont count the 350), I hate to say it but I know its primarily for you- get the M5. They have a super 24 month lease right now and the wifey can cruise in D mode with 2 bars showing (shifting comfort).

Rock, if it's for you then you should definitely check out the M5. You already have one side of the spectrum, now try the other. For a 4x4 I'd have to say the new Cayenne because it is SIIIIIICK and the interior simply blows the ML63 (and especially the century-old G55, which I HATE) away.

Do it!
