M6, via process of elimination. None of the Mercs are AMG, so there they go. I don't like Maseratis.

Maserati Quattroporte. Beautiful car, plenty of soul and exceptionally quick.

CL550 or better yet, the CL63 AMG

I went to a Mercedes dealer other day for the hell of it. I sat in the new S-class, fit and finish is a couple notches ahead of the Bimmers. But on the other hand the bimmers drive better. Always liked the S and CL, if I had an extra $140,000 lying around (LOL) I would get one, but in AMG trim.

I also got to agree on the S class interior, it truly is beautiful inside.

Doesn't look like a pig to me, it looks gorgeous. Plus the M6 interior can't even compare to the beautiful CL interior.

Just take the money you saved from not buying the CL Black series and invest in the Dinan Stroker motor!
