CL goin' bye bye????

Well, may be the end of the road for my CL. At least in my possession anyways. Brother lost his job and needs some wheels since he had a company car/unlimited miles/gas card to use at his disposal. He's gonna be using it for the summer to start. I haven't told him I'm considering giving it to him anyways. I've been shopping e500 4matics, S8/A8's to replace it in the fall. We shall see . . . .

very nice of you. The RS6 would be absolutely sick if you purchased that vehicle.

Also, please think of all the students out there that NEED something like this as well....I'm sure that I "could" take the 350Z off of your hands, and that AD wouldn't mind if you got him an 1987 Corolla......

RS6 is too much money and frankly, I want a larger car than that (I think). The reliability ratings in Consumer Reports on the E class is fuckin' horrible--yet in other reports they say "The E320 is the highest rated sedan we have ever tested." WTF? Confused? I was. Currently I'd say S8>A8>E500 4matic>E350 4matic in order of preference.
