| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG The SL is a more focused automobile. The CLS is stylish, but it is confused. It doesn't has enough space to function as a sedan, nor does it have the 'open air' sensation of a roadster.

| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG Always been a sucker for sedans. So my choce is..... But SL55 is quite beastly on the track, beating SL65 and only 2 sec behind the M6 in the ring.

| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG IMO it's in unfair comparesan, the SL is dated, the CLS is only 2 year's old. If the SL & the CLS came out in the same year I'd take the SL, but because I've seen thousands of them over the last few years I'd take the CLS. |

| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG Easy choice, SL55 Yesterday me and my mother saw a CLS and I asked if she liked the car, she answered; "grymt ful" = terrible ugly. I agree with my mother (which I often dont)

| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG Since I would sell it right away to get a BMW, give me the most expensive one of the two (which I think is the SL) Nah, I'm kidding. I would choose the CLS over the SL!!!

| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG In my opinion, the SL-class is the best looking car in MB's lineup today. Sure, it's a few years old now, but like all previous SL's, the styling is timeless and it has aged well. The car projects an image of refinement, sophistication, and a taste for luxury and prestige. The CLS is a big 4 door "coupe" which doesn't have enough rear room for passengers. It's only selling point is its exterior styling, if you like it......and I never really liked it that much, personally. Of course, I'll take the facelifted version of the SL55.

| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG Hi guys! Thanks, I like them both but the SL55 just seems to be in a higher-class of the CLS55/63. It seems more glamerous. But I like the CLS55/CLS63...becuase I just like it. lol. I think it looks great in AMG form! hmmm, black sl55 vs. white or black cls55. I am getting one of the two but havent made up my mind. ![]() ![]() Last edited by christian10022; 11-07-2006 at 09:37 AM. |

| Re: SL55 AMG or CLS55 AMG Well, I decided to order the SL55. I drove the CLS63 and the SL55 and the CLS felt cheap in comparison to the SL55. It seemed too much like my moms old E500 on the interior, just a little nicer. The CLS63 is still a very great car, but the SL55 is stunning. I hope I can find somewhere here in Manhattan to use the 510 Hp! thanks guys. |
