This is my opinion on the two cars. CLS is definitely a looker. It's just like a hot blond girl-friend that you can't help but look. But the more you look the more flaws you'll find with it.
The E55 is like your wife. It's just a plain old four door grocery getter that you'll look once and move on. But the more you look at it the more you appreciate it.
Just for the record, the CLS is the reason that brought me to the MB dealer in the first place.

Anyway, back to the topic, there's always exception to the rule. I've made up my mind that my next "fast car" with either be a 911 turbo or a GTR. I bought the E55 not for look, I bought it because "somebody" said I need to grow up and tone down
. Unbeknown to that "somebody", the E55 is almost as fast as my previous cars. Now as far as the CLS go, if you decide to lend it to me for a weekend I will not turn it down.

Hey Marcus, I love your CLS. Actually the other night, I was up at near your place @ Germain body shop, I saw a beige CLS55 with the K2 badge, body kit, rims, and some wicked looking exhaust. Talked to the guys that worked over there they said the body kit alone is $30K!?! Just wondering if you know the car/guy.

I think the CLS is the one you want to sleep with everyday and night and the E is the one you want to cook your meals for you, run errands, and do laundry.

Love the CLS looks. Sexy as hell looking car.
I choose the E for it's sleeper, stealth attributes over the better looking CLS because I've got a heavy foot and I'd rather not encourage the extra attention.
I love my E but I still look at the CLS.

I don't care for the CLS at all. Something about a 4 door sedan with a cramped rear seat and a small trunk just doesn't make sense to me. I always find the CLS front end looks like a fish with it's mouth open. Not workin' for me.
