Re: 1st drive Mercedes CL 600

The space in the rear looks really good ....I think I would rather be driven in one of these than in an S class ...there is something really special about a coupe.

I am keen to see a comparison between this car and the Bentley CGT. The CL is a genuine 4 seat coupe, while the Bentley is not really very suitable for rear passengers on long journeys. Despite Mercedes' recent more radical design approach, it is still a relatively conservative design .....I like it more than the C215. I am not surprised a German magazine would praise this car, calling it the best in the world -- although, to be fair, they are almost certainly correct. The only thing is, at this level of the market, the Bentley offers more "bang for your buck" in terms of prestige and glamour -- we cannot underestimate that aspect of things -- still, the Mercedes is always going to be the winner among us Mercedes fans, it will be very interesting to see what effect this new car will have on Bentley CGT sales.
