A rather interesting insight - the CL600 is more expensive than the CL63. I always found myself rather surprised at this and then accepting it after reasoning it out.

I was just comparing the specs, didn't know there was such a difference in price between the 63 and 600! Comparing the 600 and 65, the 65 has 100bhp more, but is only 0.1 seconds faster to 60, very minimal!

oh I wish that 200k $ price in Croatia

Mercedes needs to drop either the CL63 or the CL600, it makes no sense that they offer 3 models north of $120,000!

^why not
CL600 is a must.. its the stealth super luxury cruiser
CL63.. is the agile one (lol as agile a CL can be)
CL65 pure madness

The thing they should do is maybe lower the prices somewhat..
even the damn 500 is SUPA expensive..

Well that small fraction will increse dramaticly when the speed builds,also the 65 is seriously faster than the others between gears and rolling starts.

Yes, but going much faster than 65, well that's when you'll have lost your licence!

I can't imagine what it would be like to have a car as powerful as the 65, you'd probably be driving 100mph everywhere, and 150mph on the motorway, it would be so easy to get up to these speeds!

100mph yes, but 150mph is outrageous! You'd be lucky to find a place to do so. Once your traveling over 135mph it's all a blurr and you close in on everything as soon as it appears, but I'm sure you know that already.

I'm not so sure, the fastest I've been is 125mph, and that didn't feel hugely quick!

I agree with you, but it's strange how much faster 135 to 140mph feel in comparison to 125. If you get a chance to do so safely I'm sure you'll agree.

Personally I've been in a car driving 174 mph
