Now under normal circumstances I would agree with you, but you have to remember that benz has upped their game (pricing as also driving feel of their cars), while BMW is sliding down a slippery slope. The smart money is on the CLS. You REALLY want to have a 650i to spend that coin. I will probably end up with the CLS
