W211 AMG vs other MB AMGS?

If you didn't have a 211 AMG, what AMG would you have and why?

As much as I'd love to rock an SL, I think I'd have to go with the CLS.

I still think out of all the AMGs I've driven, the SL was the most fun.

I'd go CLS as well. Mostly because its a non-ABC car. I also like the styling as well though.

I wouldn't mind an SL65 AMG.

IMHO, the SL line up is the perfect line up. It got everything for everyone, NA, SC, and turbos.

The E55 will be my last AMG, unless I find an amazing deal on a well kept SL65. I will most likely be moving to an Italian car for my next toy.

I'd rock an SL, I love those. I also must admit that I have kind of a crush on a C55. I have a friend that has one and I've been using it for a while and it has been a very fun experience. It handles fantastic and the exhaust ( modified ) makes my E55's exhaust ( also modified ) sound weak in comparison. Just the steering precision and the sharp handling make it a hella fun car to drive.
