Suppose it only makes sense, they aren't as tossable. But man, those lines, and big displacement Germans, sound so great.

Yeah, it's a great car. I love it and as much fun as the R was, I still prefer my CLS as a daily driver so it wouldn't be worth changing at this point. That's just because I like to chill out with my seat massager and all the little luxuries more often than not. For enthusiast-style fun, though? Golf R all the way.
What about the A45 AMG? I like the interior better in that versus the Golf R. I know austere is VW's thing for interior design language, but I'm definitely ready for a change in them (although buttonless is a bit much in the MK8). Anyway, I like the A45, but have never driven one. Could be worth running that by her for kind of a mix between the luxury of the CLS550 and the hot-hatchness of the Golf R.
