I was hoping to go from CLS to 2013 Lexus LS later this year, but I am very dissapointed with the2013 LS update. Maybe I will wait until MB S class out sometime next year to make my decision.
well on the oil, i don't know if it's "ok" but i wouldn't say it's abnormal. my 2008 m3 also takes up a quarter every 7-8k miles, and that's on normal driving

I considered the CLS550 when I bought my LS. I kept going back and forth in my mind whether I liked the exterior styling. Then I figured if I had to think that much about it, I probably should pass on it. To this day though my wife likes the look of that car better.

A friend just bought the CLS63 AMG. I think it has 550 HP. It's an awesome machine, but it rides like a Mack truck.
