Thanks!
M5 - Unreal performance. Great seats. Rest of interior worse than a Kia. Shifting near 9000rpm!?
CLS55 - Nicer interior. Not as composed as the M5. Engine sound
Something about listening to a German voiceover though that is very irritating. Had to turn the sound down while he gabbed.

personally....i'd take the CLS.
i'm not running tracks and arguing about slalom numbers on a daily basis--and the 55AMG is plenty fast enough to keep the riceboys at bay...

I can't get past the 5-series styling... I could live with it in a $58K 550i,
but not a $90K M5. It's sort of anonymous looking, which I suppose
makes it a great "sleeper" car.
Also, the old M5s used to suit nice and low- what happened
with the new one? It sits up high like a Honda Accord! Wheel gap, anyone?
For day to day driving, I'm all over the CLS55. Torque is your friend.
The CLS looks cool, too.

EV ftw!!!
Watching these cars get flogged on a race track is akin to watching some juiced up body builder (like Ronnie Coleman) running on a track and jumping over hurdles.
What's exactly the point of hurling 4000 + lbs of car around a track?
Do they have some magical ability to defy physics???
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the vids, but what exactly is the point?

Hameed - lol. You say this as one who owns a hot car that's probably around 3900lbs now with the audio gear?

Good point, Hameed. You mean you don't drive like that on the Don Valley Parkway?
