Vs M5 vs CLS55

[Zafiro]

Just_me u really should test drive the CLS ,,, im sure ul change ur mind of the car ...

Im sure its a good car and all but first I dont like the design and second its only offered in automaticgearbox and third the car isnt racing inspired as a M car. If someone gave me a CLS55 I wouldnt say no but then again who would say no if someone offered you a M5

IMO every mercedes drives like rubbish..yes every mercedes (the best of all this rubish being the sl 55)...only current mercedes i HAVEN'T DRIVEN ARE the SLR, slk and the M-class and i'm quite confident the latter is also rubbish because it looks the part... BMW's on the other hand are for those who have the passion of driving cars....its not just about going to the grocery store or the bank...its about how you get there and how long it takes to come back ...IMO in a mercedes like Audi's you don't care about the voyage...but in a BMW you make excuses for not going home

So for those who like a car merely for its looks(even though the cls is one of the uggliest mercedes) go ahead get the CLS....but those who buy an ///M5 buy it to make every drive an event.

I wouldnt say MB drives like rubbish but the driving experience isnt there like in M cars. I drove the E55, a great crusier and a comfortable one but the driving experience is missing, also Im not into automatic cars. But saying they drive like rubbish, that I can't agree with But to each is own

I went extreme with rubbish but there are just to many flaws in mecedes cars...especially brake by wire...that is the dumbest thing ever...their is no brake feel...

lOl MoSs! Anyway from the looks of tis article I still say the M5 is not a 0.5ths
better in performance than the CLS55, other than speeds higher than 100mph. The numbers prove that.

I`d wait for the CLS63, with a supposed 515hp mated with the AMG
modified 7Gtranny the CLS63 is going to kick tail, I can`t wait!
Remember AMG modified means the 7G shifts 35% faster than the normal 7G.

CLS63

but the 63 AMG engines lose the torque advantage that they had over others...i woulnd't be suprised to see 0-60 times decrease but 1/4 mile will probably increase

Well the SLK55 has 50lb-ft less torque than the Chevy Corvette and weighs
about 200lbs more but it`s just as fast as the C6 Corvette. I think we can expect the same of the CLS63. It should be better.

Yes, the E63 will be slightly faster than M5 but not by much and certainly not much enough for me to pay the extra cash to get a E63 over M5.
Besides, they drive is totally different and a few more ponnies wont change a fact like that.

We really can`t make a judgement yet. We really don`t know if it`s going to be that more expensive than the 55 and I`m sure the performance will be enhanced. MBs` not going to just drop the 6.3liter in the 55s body
there will be some other updates.

AMG always cost more than M's at least in Sweden and since I live in Sweden I have to go with the prices here.

Like Catwimmer said, "The CLS55 retains AMG values of a powerful cruising machine with Mercedes core values".

I love both cars, but when it comes to looks, give me the CLS anyday. Who cares about headroom in the back when you're the one driving?

GTA, you still getting a CLS?

I do since I have a long way to my work plus we are 4 more people in the car so yes I care. If I didnt care I would choose M6 since its faster and handles better than both M5 and CLS55.

I guess this means expence to you.
Core values means a design commitment. BMW also has core values.

 

[bmwrules]

I agree with donau and Just_me. I like the E55 over the CLS55.

 

[Zafiro]

He didnt talk about design, also those enchances wont help cause M5 was build around sport first then luxury. Also I remember when CLS55 came, MB people said it would handle better than the M5 and it didnt happen and if we add M6 the different is even larger. No, those enchances wont help and if it by a miracle do help than BMW can enchance the M5/M6's as well. M will still remain the ultimate driving experience in this class cause that their core values

I`m commited on getting a W221 S65 AMG, I sware it. I thought of the CLS63
but I want the ultimate! Plus I don`t want another 4-door racing past me!
