If price were in the equation, I would pick the GS 460.

However, if price were no object and you could have an AMG CLS Mercedes (well over $100,000), you would be kidding yourself if you picked the GS. Now if the GS-f were out then maybe most of us would pick the GS, but that is not the case.

cls550 =/= cls55/63. if it's cls550, probably around 70k for a reasonably loaded one?

I guess we're just not clear if this guy is thinking of a CLS 55 AMG or CLS 550 with an AMG body/interior package.

If he's looking just at the 550, I would pick the GS.

I think I like the CLS 550+AMG package, I agree there is just something that is different about that car.

My choice would be the CLS550 too, just something about that car that's sexy.

*only because you already have a GS or had, no point to get another one.
They make a CLS 55 AMG as well.

Out of your three, I prefer the 460.

Yeah, only the CLS55/63 are real AMG's, but I think he meant CLS550 with the AMG body kit/package.

seeing the IS-F... i bet lexus would uglify the GSF too with corny looking exterior features.

No doubt, the CLS is a beautiful machine. However, I have never driven one because of my dislike of the E series, upon whose platform it is built. When I test drove the E500, I found it had too heavy a feel, without the Lexus ease of drive quality. Now if anyone who has driven the CLS can tell me that it handles and drives differently than the E, please chime in and I'll give it the appropriate test drive. The looks alone would warrent giving it a chance.
