E63, CLS55 or CLS63
A local dealer has all three in their inventory on their lot (one E63, four CLS63 and a leftover CLS55). My current vehicles lease is up and I am
considering joining the MB-AMG family. Have never driven any of these autos
but have an appointment on Monday. Would really appreciate any suggstions or experiences owners of these vehicles have.
Also, does the new E63 have the same brake system as the previous E-class models and E55 (electronic type system?)
Thanks, Chris

EBC no more. the brake system on the 63 is much better.

ebc isnt that bad, its actually very easy to use when u get used to it.
Driving anything else after feels strange. Its kind of like SMG, once u get used to it, it becomes less jerky and 2nd nature.

I would vote for the E63.
While the 55 engine is more tunable, the 63 is more refined and linear.
The E63 is also lighter than the CLS variants.
Though, the CLS has more interior room and might look a little better.
Depends on what you will use it for. Do you need maximum rear-seat legroom? Are you impartial on looks? Is it your only car? I'd go E63, though the CLS is more elegant.

Thats a tough call. I love the look of the CLS, but the E may have a slight performance advantage. As far as engines, I love the 55, huge torque, easily tuneable. The good news, you can't make a mistake with any of the cars.

CLS for the styling...I drool everytime I see one 
BUT, the only caveat is that you pay for it in visibility from the driver seat. Window sills are shoulder height and rear quarter visibility is not great (backing out, parking, etc)
GL with the decision, but frankly can't go wrong with any of those
