Thinking about selling my 997
I am having a practicality attack. Thinking of trading in my Carrera S for either a CLS55 AMG, Quattroporte or a RS4. What do you guys think is still going to be fun out of those two? I need a car that my wife can drive too. I also am tired of trying to get my daughter in and out of the back, Shes getting too big now.
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.

I think I might miss it, But I have friends who moved to E55's and never looked back. Lots more power! This is a pretty badass car, Not sure about the red stripes though..

Seems like that CLS 55 has these red stripes on the perimeter on the wheel and on the AMG badge...not a special option. ( " addiction " was the wrong word...sorry for the wrong word! 
)
Anyway an RS4 would be great cause it's not so big but fast and comfortable.
Your choice should also depend on the fun factor...Are you going to run it fast?

Another vote for the RS4. Another reason - I had a very disappointing experience with my E class (W211) 
I won't have an M-B in the driveway in the near future.

I'd pick the CLS55 in a heart beat, it's classy and it hauls a$$. The RS4 though would obviously be more fun but I think it's too boy racer compared to the CLS55.

My wife drives a 6 speed with no problem, The car is just too low for her and the baby seat dosent fit well.
Are there any RS4's available yet? I have not seen too many and I am not paying over sticker.
