I got a chance to read the review and I thought it was a fair one. Cheers to the M5 for nailing it

When is the M6 coming to the states? Going to be intresting to see M6 vs CLS55 reviews and later E63 vs M5.

I think this spring... not sure though. I think it will handle even better than the M5.

M6 handles better than the M5, all european carmags have said so. Also the M6 is sportier and faster than M5.

The CLS already looks old to me.

I will take the beautiful black CLS55 AMG please.

The M5 is just too complicated, even though it's the better car.

The CLS55 AMG is more simple, sounds, looks better and is just as fast and good to drive as the M5.

Complicated? How? CLS55 does indeed sound nice.

Complicated for some yes and for some no. For some there are a learning curve and once you know it, then its not complicated at all. I bet if you used it for a while you wouldnt say complicated.

I agree on the last sentence

"One blast in the CLS55, and you'll feel like you've been there, done that. One sortie in the M5, and you'll want more."

M5 and CLS55 are two different cars to drive with a different driving experience.

The M5 is a hell of a performer but we have to remember that the CLS isn't built to conquer tracks. Just like an aston martin, it's is built to perform but also for the sake of elegance and style.
It's not about how fast you get to your destination, it's about how you look when get there.

Are you serious man, please look at the picture below and tell me the car looks old.

Discuss the design is utterless pointless. People have different taste and there are no rights or wrong about design. Im not a huge fan of CLS, I rather pick E55.
