CL vs S class?

[E38Ross]

In terms of tech, How they drive, reliability and running costs are there any differences between these 2?

No obviously there will be some differences but I love both cars and would be tempted by one next (not sure which series yet, maybe around 2008 era) and wondering are there any noticeable differences? The S is obviously more practical, spacious etc but aside from better looks is the CL better at anything else? Refinement any different?

Thanks in advance

I agree, the CL is something else, such a special looking car in the 215 and 216 forms (not a fan of the one before). The S Class looks fantastic for what it is but not as classy as a CL.

Apparently the suspension is different (at least on the C215) and also, the C216 looks like it has a nicer interior than the S Class.

Saloons look bettr IMHO but the CL comes with the ABC system which improves handling and body roll apparently.

I'd have another saloon if I didnt have a camping holiday fetish, they look so good, 2dr cars need to have folding roofs IMHO or the engine in the middle or back. Making a 2dr car out of a 4dr seems silly

See I'm the opposite. I prefer coupes, my old man has an E92 M3 coupe and prefer it to the saloon. I also think the CL looks better than the S.

That CL63 is stunning. I regularly see one like that inI chandler's ford.
