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 very interesting to see what effect this new car will have on Bentley CGT sales. |
I agree. Truthfully I don't like 4-door cars. If there is a coupe or convertible version I'll likely take that route before getting the sedan. The only exception is the CLS of course! At the dealer where I bought my car they sell Bentleys too, and I got a chance to look at them close up while waiting on my car to be detailed and let me tell you their interiors are head and shoulders above anything by BMW or Mercedes. That said the CL600 or upcoming CL65 are going to kill the Continental Bug.
