Well they're just upset for a number of reasons:

1. That the CLS63 proved in this test to be a tick faster their their vaunted CLS55s.

2. That the CLS63 isn't able to outright slaughter their CLS55s in a straight line. They feel that it and the E63 also don't warrant them trading in their cars.

These two reasons alone signify that a lot of them are just plain nuts.

3. They don't want or get that the CLS63 is the more accomplished car because it actually handles better and is more refined, and they won't ever admit that it sounds better than the CLS55 did. The CLS55 from everything I've seen and heard (heard it myself a few times) is more Nascar, and the "63" cars are more F1 than Nascar in sound, according to those who have heard both side by side.

There are a lot of reasons, but these are the main ones going by what I read over there.
