There are pros and cons for both, I would say go drive one and see if its really what you thought it would be, the only sure way to know. From a reliability standpoint, IMO I think Lexus/Toyota have their *ish together and focus more on that than the "status symbol" but still manage to produce an attractive car.

Definitely trade in for durability, reliability and value. I read somewhere that Mercedes depreciates in value the most.

Test drive the car before making the jump. Get a feel for it behind the wheel.

Flame suit activated. That's a downgrade dude lol. But also, depends on the intent of the vehicle. You're currently driving a luxury car, the ISF isn't. It's a sports sedan that's got some luxury features.

That's an odd change honestly. Because the people that buy those wouldn't find the ISF up to par in comfort I'd imagine.

Like mentioned, the C63 is the closest comparison and even then the AMG is of a higher standard than the F. A luxury performance sedan, rather than the other way around.

2014? You are still under warranty, keep it. CLS550 is a nice looking car, has the latest tech, luxurious interior and is very comfy. Despite its weight it's not that much slower than the F either. The only reason to get the ISF over it is your warranty is over and you dont want to pay the upkeep and maintenance of it. Everything else I think feels like a downgrade for daily driving. The ISF is a better track tool but how many here are actually track monkeys

came here to say basically the same thing. Plus you are driving the same car as Ray Donovan!

i like the isf because it looks more economy. Not gonna stand out when i park my car u know. I like the isf because the engine sounds really good. Theres not many for sale so i cant find the color i want with the affordability.
