Re: Motortrend: M5 vs CLS55

I would take the Mercedes CLS55 AMG over the new BMW M5 any day.

The new M5 is just too complicated.

CLS55 AMG in black for me please.

Well, I would do the same. I would rather take the E55 than CLS55.
In fact it must be close to 4 years ago now, I ordered an E55 and put a deposit down on it. I had a 2001 E320 and was just on fire about the new supercharged great looking sedan. But then I had to wait almost a year before it came out, and during that time I sobered up and started asking myself: What are you doing? I canned the order and got the new E320 instead and have been very happy with it. Took the difference of $30,000 and invested it in real-estate instead. But yes, the E55 is attractive.

Re: Motortrend: M5 vs CLS55

I don't see what the big fuzz is all about. I knew the M5 would win before the testers even opened their doors. It's natural. The M5 is obviously the serious track performer here. No surprise. The CLS55 retains AMG values of a powerful cruising machine with Mercedes core values. No big deal.

I'd take the CLS since it looks so hot IMO. And they're not as small in the back as one may think. I've driven 3 of them and they're quite spacious at the rear, even with a tall passenger sitting infront. The thing about the CLS that get's you is the poor headspace at the rear. But the sexy design makes up for that.

I agree cawimmer430, Give me the CLS55 anytime. I don`t need track numbers when I`m running to the grocery store and the bank after that.
The CLS55 is an excellent performer plus it`s got sex appeal thats unmatched
in it`s class!

Re: Motortrend: M5 vs CLS55

It's not a surprise, the M5 wining the CLS again.

Despite of all that electronic rubbish, the new M5 is one Amazing car and Yes, I do concede it's a better handling car than the CLS.

I even like the looks of the new M5. In fact, I like the new M5.

But I like the CLS55 AMG more!

The trouble with the M5, is all that overcomplicated eletronics.

And that's why I maintain, that I still want a CLS55 AMG or maybe the upcoming CLS63 AMG in black!

Cawimmer430: So far I agree with everything you said. But I think the CLS makes more sense with a 5.5 Supercharged V8 under the bonnet instead of a Turbo Diesel. I'm not saying the diesel is bad, is just that for such a sexy looking car with a sporting character, the CLS is better suited with the V8 AMG engine. Leave the good 320CDI for a nice E-Class.

GTA7.5: That is one HOT looking car! But please...tell me what the hell, that car is doing in a Ford dealer?! Please...tell me it's not for sale in a Ford dealership!

Re: Motortrend: M5 vs CLS55

I dont looking for the tracknumbers either but I want great driving experience and that can be found in M5 or ever better up, the M6. I also need place for 5 people (my carpool) and they sit better in the backseat in the M5 than in the CLS55.
