Pitty for above...

But still, it's an amazing car...

Tighter corners are a tougher test, and although you can send the CL into the early stages of lurchy understeer or smoky oversteer with an excess of enthusiasm, drive the CL with smoothness and sympathy and it remains surprisingly tidy and impressively agile.

Sounds great, it's a shame the traction control can not be fully switched off.

Very nice article, thanks for posting, karma certaintly deserved.

P.S. nice pic!

thanks 7.3 AMG.

Given the average age of a CL buyer, or a CL AMG buyer, they are unlikely to powerside their way home from work, plus they probably have other weekend driving toys in their garage anyway.The TC are there so Mercedes can keep their customers alive and buy more AMGs in the future
