CLS63 now, M6 later!

As much as I love the M6, I got an incredible offer for a CLS63 that i couldn't refuse. So I will save some money and enjoy the AMG performance now, then "upgrade" to a M6 in 3-5 years. Sounds like a plan!!!

Can't live without the heads up display lol. Plus the new CLS just came out, m6 should be good until 2017-2018.
But it was a hard pick for me too, I love the steering wheel in AMG's, very comfy ride, congrats!

Oh no, 2015 just announced, DOH! Well, the first ones probably won't arrive until mid-2016 where I'm at so that's a whole year without AMG power if I waited (but then no super deal). I do like the new front exterior, more sporty and aggressive LIKE THE M6, but I hate how MB now adds a larger Screen that is NOT embedded in the console, looks like someone added a garmin device. Saw it in the CLA, and hated it. So I guess I will be perfectly fine until the new M6 arrives!

Worked on a CLS 63 S recently
What a beast !! Stock it pulls harder then M6 with burger tune and full exhaust.
Tons of torque !!! You'll have fun !

That was the car I was GOING to buy. I still have a little dissonance, but I'm very happy with the M6. For me, I'm just one option away on both from complete enjoyment - I wish the CLS63 AMG 4Matic S had a DCT, and I want AWD on the M6 (I'm running mods and break the tires loose way too easily). I was thinking about the s63 AMG coupe next, but the refreshed CLS could steer me away...

Same! I hate the new big screen, looks a bit cheap. I like older 2012-2014 model better.

Congrats on the new ride though.

Love the growl on this V8!!!
Anyone here do a side by side exhaust comparison between the M6 and CLS63? Reviews say the M6 is a bit muffled?!?

Stock exhaust on the M6 is not good enough but it's an easy fix #Akrapovic.
