CLS 55. I doubt you'd be satisfied with the Audi for a second.

Edit: Have you heard a CLS 55 in full battle cry?

I am also kind of bored after having two 996's before this. I love it, but Its not as different of a car as I had hoped. 4 doors would be nice.
Sounds like a Nissan is in your future.

ehh...ive driven the cls55 and was not too impressed with the sound at WOT. a Porsche still sounds better WOT. other than the 55 being fast(i hate that they are not manuals and did not do too much for me because of this) i wasnt impressed.

Between the RS4 and the CLS55, it's the CLS all the way. Personally, I'd go for the Maserati Quattroporte. My personal experience with Maserati has been pretty favorable and I just love the way that the Quattroporte looks and drives.

Not sure about the red pinstripe on that particular vehicle. Looks good on my gayman slayer though

CLS55 all the way, or if you can spit out the extra cash, CLS63! ! !

I hope you are not referring to a stock exhaust note on a Porsche (996 CS, TT, etc). The exhaust note on the TT is very subdued and I hear it is even more subdued on the new 997 TT...first thing I did with my TT was put a EPII Loud on it...

Of course, maybe I heard a modified exhaust on the CLS 55? Arling, is your exhaust modified?

new M5...not that much of a stretch above the RS4 $$ wise. A bit more tossable than the AMG's.

I have driven one, my buddy just got the E63, if ya want a speedboat, go for that. If you go AMG the CLK63 is out too.
I bet the wife will love that, it only comes as a vert.

Yep, cheaper than a CLS55, too. And a 6-speed manual is coming soon...

If it has to be between the RS4 and the CLS, I'd get the RS4. I traded my S4 in for my 997S and I miss it (but not enough to ditch my Porsche ).

Sorry Shawn and no offense too those who have them..The CLS of any type is a serious womans car, the RS4 is very small and the Mas is a real POS to drive...stick with the 997 my Cousin (1st) raised 2 kids with 2 996 cabs so practicality is an excuse...
