To be honest guys, if I could afford a CLS550, thats the car I would be in right now.

I also have a love/hate relationship with MB. The top models I really like such as that beautiful S65 AMG or CL65 AMG but the feeling falls off really quickly when I look at the lower trim levels or base models. Since I'm not paying the kind of money neccessary to get a new S65 AMG I am just not that inspired by what I would get dollar for dollar with a Mercedes.

If anything takes me out of my BMW it will likely be an Audi. Don't konw if anyone here is following the development of the A7, but its sweet and will compete against the new CLS and the BMW (CS) offering (due out around the same time - 2011)

I had quite an internal debate/struggle over the 528i M Sport that I ordered and the new Audi A6 3.0TFSI Quattro that is about to be released into the market and the new Audi RS6 Sedan is a very tempting option. Albeit for much much more money.

Agreed that the Audis are pretty compelling

I hate but respect them.
That's why I keep an eye on them.
