Umm...I ordered the R8, waited for 6 months and the day before my car is delivered my wife brought me the wonderful news. Given this economy I am losing half the cars value in less than a year (AND cars in Korea are expensive, R8 = USD 220,000.)

well, nothing beats the joy of see ur kid smile.

cls just face lifted so should have a little while.

the choice has now changed to ML63 (also little bit worry about the replacement issue) or BMW F01 (can't really stand the boss' car image and limited space in the 750Li trunk given the additional compressor.

Thanks for 2 more votes. still discussing with my wife...leaning towards ML because of the space.

btw, no GL here.

R8 is still pretty exclusive but you do see them around. Prob around 10 actively on the road and many more just sitting in garages at home.

It sounds as if you want performance along with the 4 doors? Any interest in CTS-V? Looks are growing on me a little but still on the fence. The performance is phenominal though. If I was looking for a large car and one of my top priorities was not high performance there's no doubt I'd be in an LS460. The car is flat out beautiful and IMO blows any 5 or 7 series Bimmer away in the styling dept. Pick up a used E55 or E63 for a song these days. Hold it for a year until the new body styles come out.

CTS-V no, not even sure if they come to Korea.

To say how pretty the LS460 is, look at the new bimmer 7-er!! they look the same. but since my boss rides one it would be awkward at work (a Korean thing).

CLS63 hand down.....Car looks amazing has room for 4, and is fast as hell....I own one and have owned M5, which seems a little cheap on the inside at least to me....S6, is a heavy slow car imo....and doesnt look good at all

ML63 on the other hand is an awesome choice and very baby friendly.
I bet life is almost not worth living with the effort it would take to get a baby out of the back seat of a CLS
