AutoExpress - Mercedes CL600

Merc1 · 04-26-2007, 12:20 AM

The Mercedes CL600 is an amazing super-Coupe which outclasses the Bentley in almost every area

A fortunate few will face the challenge of choosing the CL600 over its luxury GT rivals - and it will be a tough decision. The awe-inspiring acceleration of the Mercedes V12 makes it the perfect match for the all-new CL, which is a fantastically comfortable and capable technological marvel. The car may lack the special feel of a Bentley, yet it outclasses its British competitor in most other areas. And although entry-level versions of the CL make much more sense financially, the 600 is still an amazing super-coupé.

I can't help it Rob, you know how I feel about that car! I get a unhealthy kick out of this test in particular because of the British origin of the review.

The fact that it beats the Bentley CGT doesn't shock me. CL600 is really for the top dogs, CEO style.

its amazing how good the CL looks in photos but IRL it was a disappointment. This car is photogenic I assume..

You know, those rear seats of the CL are useful. Not like those in the SL. Oh wait...

It's Hugh Hefner Jr. speaking again!

Gotta say those rims are 100 times better than the standard 600-rims.
