I hope I could get some good feedback regarding my decision.
About a month ago I crashed my CL55, after jacking around for over a month they are finally ready to write it off.
I love CL but Im debating between new CL600 and Cl55amg.
Any feedback regarding performance, features, resale would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

 

CL55 AMG: 5.4 supercharged V-8 SOHC 24valve. Retail $120,000.
-493hp @6100rpm
-516lb-ft torqe @ 2750rpm

Hands Free or Voice activated phone Optional

CL600: 5.5 V-12 SOHC 36valve Retail $129,000

590lb-ft torque @ 1800rpm

How is it possible that the CL600 is a 5.5liter V-12 and it only produces 493hp??? My E63 is a 6.3liter V-8 and pumps out 507hp...
