It's not on your list but I'd consider a GS450h before any of those b/c I think it's a good compromise between performance and gas. ...unless gas isn't an issue for you. if that's the case, CPO CLS55!
If price were not an issue, the CLS 550 AMG is a gorgeous car with great horsepower and features. My best friend has owned this car for the last year and it's amazingly fast. However, like with most German cars there are so many add-ons that make the car extremely expensive.
If you get the MB make sure you ask them what kind of loaner cars they will be giving you. Chances are that you'll be driving that more than your CLS
Hmm, I haven't had any issues with my E63. And my wife's '06 E350 had zero issue during the 2.5 years we had it.
Out of the three choices, I'd get the CLS550. Love the styling and the V8 makes plenty of power. There are pretty attractive incentives on the CLS right now d/t the upcoming '09 refresh.
As for the OP's question, are you planning on leasing or buying? If buying, I'd also consider a low mileage used CLS55 or CLS63. AMGs tend to depreciate quickly and you can find some great deals on used cars...especially in this weak economy.
