They're already making the CLS65, but that may not be as balanced as the 55.

For a "coupe", I'll take the M6 over the CLS55.

Power looks great, and I cant be mad at that, but the looks??? My goodness. Aftermarket is suppose to make your car look better, I rather have a stock CLS55 than this. Rims(like what everyone else pointed out) are the first thing to go, get rid of that ugly grill, and the entire front bumper, then we might have a great looking car.

I would take a CL65 AMG and rip a new *** hole to 95% of cars on the road (including the M5)

May not necessarily beat the M5 or M6 in the twisties, besides CL65 amg probably not as quick as CLS65 Amg because its heavier by almost 200 lbs.

I do think the CL looks way better than the CLS though & the back seats are more comfortable.
