I actually have to agree with this, Henry. The V10 doesn't really sound good screaming until you hit the upper half of the rev counter, and how often do you get to do that? Otherwise it almost sounds like a diesel.

The AMG engine, on the other hand, sounds absolutely MEAN at all RPM. I sat next to one today in traffic, and it was IDLING, and it still sounded mean.

So, what's the verdict? Life must be tough between those two choices. I'd take that problem anyday.

That M5 has seriously menacing appeal to it. Especially the front end Both cars are sweet.

I had to vote M5 on this. Though the car has less torque off the line I'm just not feelin the look of the CLS as much. It's not bad by any means but M5 is where it's at IMO.

Totallly agree!!!

This is reason why I roll my window up when I'm next to an M5 (and porsche)
and roll my window down when I'm next to an AMG (and mustang GTs...I know I know)
