  • Bentley is the best brand for those who have money and respect. What's the point to buy CL 600 or AMG if other people can buy A class car to say: "I drive a Mercedes Benz too?"

  • bmw beats merc

  • @tlclover100 nop merc beats bmw :)

  • Bentley still sexier !

  • 50,000 less who-cares?

  • now imagine with a cl65 amg

  • Thats just pure Ownage.The Bentley has 411KW but the Benz only has 380KW and yet the Benz was faster.Too much weight.

  • @vili567 Both are amazingly fast and can take any modern sportscar on the road today.

  • I'm straining my ears to hear the beautiful sounds of the V and W 12 engines but that damn narrator is talking all over it!

  • merc is awesome, but the looks don't seem to be as good as the bentley or the old cl

  • I truly appreciate both of these cars. But if i had to pick one, i would definitely go with the CL600. Performance, exterior and interior. Bentley a lil too plain for me.. But if i was a multi-millionaire, i would definitely pick both.. make it a bentley speed :D

  • COUP..... OMG NO

    

  • The Stig @ 2:27 haha j.k

  • Only gripe I have the CL has a column shift...like a pick up truck.

  • merc may have abetter performance and more cheaper than the bentley but bentley makes the benz look like a econo car like a civic , plus bentley is all about luxury and comfort and besides if you want a performance car there a lot of supercars that gives more than these two cars with a cheaper price

  • Mercedes Benz-the best or nothing !

  • The Continental is the base model...Try the Speed or SS next time.

  • @Speedcorp The Continental is based on VW design, the Mercedes is original design.

  • @TurboFuss1 I don't think you understood my comment...

  • @Speedcorp Oh I understood your comment. But for price reasons the CL is less than the base Continental (and better).

  • @TurboFuss1 I haven't driven them yet so I can't argue but I have trouble believing a CL is better than the "SS" ;)

    Have you driven both?

  • Bentley is for the rich, its luxury not a racing car clowns

  • Long live MERCEDES BENZ and the TREE POINTED STAR!!!!!

  • Bentley is overpriced Volkswagen... ;)

  • I think the journalist forgot to mention some points: although both cars were 2007 models, the Bentley Continental Gt is around from some years already and a new model is coming out very soon. The Bentley has 4 wheel drive and I think it is heavier than the Merc. Also I think in 5 years of ownership the Bentley will keep its value much better then Merc. Anyway I like both cars but I think the journalist point of view was not very impartial. SSFFTT

  • Both are grear luxury cars ... But for me ill take the bentley any day !!!

  • The Bentley can't drive itself

  • they should of put the amg model better... gotta love the whole amg line, 

  • its also amazing how flat that merc is in the corners

  • i prefer the cl, not only because the bentley is a footballers car but also because imo it looks nicer and interior is nicer and its less show-off

  • Even if you had all the money in the world, the cl is much nicer. It's interior is beautiful and it is much more comfortable. After all, a Bentley is a Bentley, but for the same price, you can buy a Ferrari or something more "thrilling". And you could get a cl500 and a GTR for the same price.

  • I could care less about the performance, even though both are amazing machines. But, when you tell someone "I just bought a Mercedes" they say "very nice", but when you show up in a Bentley their mouth will drop.

  • i would choose the bentley cuz it looks better

  • @BiGPiMPiN591 The Bentley looks average but the CL is far nicer looking.

  • id take even a cl500 over 10 bentley's..or get 10 bentley's then sell them and get a cl65amg

  • bentley forever

  • Love your review for these cars, very informative.

  • BENTLEY FOREVER

  • the merc's interior is wayyyy better

  • merc rules always !

  • @528jkl sorry,but in a big fan of bentleys

  • GO BENTLEY

  • I DONT LIKE THE MERC'S FRONT LIGHTS.. TOO SMALL FOR SUCH A GREAT CAR.

    BENTLEYS REAR IS UGLY.

  • A Mercedes-Benz is still the best. Nothing can beat the pillar-less elegance of the coupes.

  • id go for the merc

  • nice video

  • So they say these are drivers cars and the Bentley's seats are tyoo small? How fat are these people? You don't buy this kind of car to hammer the last 10th of a second out of it. When you buy something like this the speed is expected so a tenth here and there means nothing. The Mercedes is a nice car but it's just another CL. When you have money you realise there's more to life than bullshit bragging. That's also why Ferrari can keep charging double for similar spec. For special you buy branded.

  • i would say that if u want a real car handmade top quality which is gonna last one life and more get a bentley enough with those german bullshits

  • I'd still get the bentley... i mean, it's a fucking bentley, when you buy a car like that, you want the name as well, not just the performance etc. there's so many benzos on the roads, while seeing a bentley is a rarity. its much more prestige i'd say, which is why you gotta pay 50 grand more. as far as the performance goes, it's not a track car, and you can throw in a chip and some other easy/cheap improvements to make it go much faster than the benz in a straight line.

  • Benz all the way...

  • Did the Bentley really think it had a chance? what a disappointment... the Merc isn't even AMG

  • @stevomwa1 yea but it has the same amount of horsepower as a 2007 CL 63 AMG with 510 BHP so not really that fair of a remark

  • @stevomwa1 I'd take a CL600 over a CL63, it's got a lot more power and is faster to 60.

  • @stevomwa1 um the bentley won

  • @gunzac21

    are you deaf!!!!!!!!

  • At least, bring a CL65 AMG to compare.

    Otherwise only DB9 can do a fair competition with this pretty pig.

  • At least, bring a CL65 AMG to compare.

    Otherwise only DB9 can do I fair competition with this pretty pig.

  • Only DB9 can compare with this pretty pig.

  • If I wanted a Bentley I would just go for a VW Phaeton W12.

  • @Hello6761 lol so true. VW ruined Bentley

  • Mercedes can beat Bentley anyday. English cars don't have any real quality, German cars have the true quality that will destroy any English crap!

  • The 2000-2006 C215 CL-class had a MUCH sharper and more atheletic stance than this CL. It's just too fat and bulbous in all the wrong places, not to mention its front fascia is about as bland as a Toyota Avalon's.

    As far as this comparison goes, I chose the Bentley.

  • @4MATICbenz You should, I have both the CL 63 AMG and the Bentley Continental Supersports, and my bentley handles so much better. It hugs the road perfectly even past the 100 mph mark.

  • BEAMER

  • Unfortunately this Bentley is based on a Volkswagen Phaeton (From engine and transmission down to basic seat controls). It's no Bentley at all. VW has completely ruined the brand by making them half the cost.

  • @DJFG85 VW Factory produce "VEYRON"

  • @DJFG85 Yes, but if Bentley had never been aided by VW, it would not be where it is today.

  • @unknownunknowns Where it is today? You mean being compared with Mercedes instead of Rolls Royce? Yea... VW fucked up big time. Sold out the brand to make cash. Rolls Royce is much more prestigious now.

  • @DJFG85 I see and what makes RR 'prestigious' and why is it that way.

  • @unknownunknowns A lot more rare and less people can attain them. It's that way because BMW was smart and moved RR upmarket while VW moved Bentley down market to make money in the short run fast.

  • @unknownunknowns However, bentley was much more luxurious when it was still partners with rolls royce... BUT- I still love my bentley, even if it is a british car designed by the germans and built in Brazil.

  • @bentleygtss Ok, explain to me what you mean by 'luxurious'. I should say that a car that's filled with 'glitter' doesn't make the car more 'luxurious'.

  • @unknownunknowns i meant that i feel that since volkswagen took over, the cars have gained speed. My flying spur feels no different than my A8. Ive test driven a VW Phaeton, still i feel that thats all my bentley is, just a VW with a cool logo. BUT- my arnage and azure feel unique. They have an amazing ride quality, and glitter? no, try chrome dials, full wood trim, hand stitched leather, and not to metion that my azure can massage my back and heat my ass. So, thats what i mean by "luxurious."

  • @bentleygtss I don't know but are those considered to be durable? I ask because I feel that durability, not 'glitter', is what justifies the price. Look, I admire Mercedes for many technological innovations it gave to the world more than RR and Bentley, which seem to just look 'pretty' and ostenatatious.

  • @unknownunknowns ok, I'll give you that one... but believe me, its not just the looks. I promise. The 621 horses in the Supersports explains what a true bentley is. (and i guarantee itll beat the Benz in the quarter mile)

  • @bentleygtss Show me those figures, please.

  • @mitsubishirocks1 so true

  • mercedes is for old people. Bmw for the win.

  • @petes20502 just like all expensive cars.

  • mercedes for life!!!

  • i love benz, the sl65 ///AMG is ma favorite

  • bentleys are for the snob, self-satisfied rich people.

  • No car like bentley

  • I am a Mercedes fan but i would have a BENTLEY and anyone who wont is an imbecile

  • @tariqmghazi Or smart an non-ostentatious....

  • the cl class may be better, but id choose the bentley because its a bentley

  • Mercs are on just about every street now, its become a casual name. Bentley is much much more luxurious and prestigious. Also, Bentley is not a race car, its not built for performance. If you want a car to go round a track, buy a ferrari or porsche. I would take the Bentley over the Merc anyday!

  • @NottinghamForest22 u do see mercs every day, but not that one...

  • @mammothborderDC because you can get better cars for the price of the CL.

  • @NottinghamForest22 But don't you want a car that is a little well-rounded? More bang for the buck? We could drive a sporty car as a daily driver but our butts would hurt. It looks like every manufacturer is doing it, hence the reason why turbo is a common engineering feature.

  • Comment removed

  • That merc is fast athough no my favorite i like the amg cl55 with the supercharged v8 lol. Merc is the best

  • Boring and ugly.

  • shutup! Benz obviously builds better vehicles than Bentley whether you like it or not, its just the price tag!

  • this is an isnult to german engineers. you compare them to nothing !

  • What's so great about the Bentley, other than it's just there to look 'pretty', which is not my top priority?

  • @unknownunknowns

    the bentley badge is what 90% of that car is all about. its looks really isnt mind blowing, kinda looks like a jaguar s type but its the "presence" you get when you buy it. when you roll down a street and people start whispering. if you dont care about that then go get a "drivers car" like a m6 or whatever.

  • @xchrisbobisx And this is why it is controlled by VW.

  • mercedes benz i love youuuu =D the best

  • Wow... i can't believe you're knocking the benz based on your opinions

  • I think the Bentley has a better handeling and it looks better....But its a footballer's car, and the CL basically has nothing wrong, it very comfortable and quick long distance cruiser, thats what it is.

    I will get the CL 63 AMG though, the sound is just tooooo tempting when you decides to open the taps a little.

  • @Desmonddd2002

    You do realize that the CL600 is faster than the CL63, right?

  • The Bentley is more beautiful and more 'awe' aspiring, it just lacks space over the CL600. Both are highly competitive cars, & very pricey. THe 50 Thousand dollar price difference claims the tp spot for me. The CL600 is nice though, it's just that you dont see Bentley everyday unless you live in LA or Miami

  • @EngleSackJus The CL600 is 50.000 cheaper and has much more technology in it...

    The Bently cant do anything secial exept priceing^^

  • this benz is very good looking car but like old shape CL benz

  • They are both good cars but if I have to choose I'll take the bentley of course... It's just a very big car with strenght and shows more class.

  • 12.2 on 1/4 for bentley not 12.8

  • If the classic CL isnt agressiv enough, you can also Order the AMG Styling for 12.000 Euro , and that ist ........ Stunning!

  • performance vs brand power...make your choice.

  • The Mercedes has much more class!

  • I personally think the cl is a much better car than the continental, because the cl is a proper merc, whereas the continental is basically a VW in a nice suit.

  • how much does (2007 Mercedes-Benz CL600) cost?

  • that perticular CL that they used for this test is ugly. the color, the rims and the interiour colors are hideous

  • one day the germans will get it right

  • But, it's a Bentley and you (and everyone else) knows it.

  • i would definitly take the merc! just the green doesnt look good on the car!

  • ill take the bentley....or an astin martin

  • GO Teufel mit allen E-Klasse W212, S212, V212, C-Klasse W204, S204, SL-Klasse seit 2008, Bi-Turbo, der SLK-Klasse, CLC-Klasse, CLS-Klasse, S-Klasse W221, Sprinter, CL -Klasse, ML-Klasse, GLK-Klasse durch Boten von Mercedes Benz. AND BENTLEY CONTINENTAL,WE WANT TO KILL OUR CUSTOMER.

  • this merc is the most poinless car in the world, why would you get this when you can get an aston martin for the same price?

  • @thepersianlion The CL600 can be used as an everyday super comfortable and super fast car in one an, relatively speaking, is more subtle than an Aston. Only the owner knows its true capabilities on the highway.

  • @thepersianlion

    cuz its is a Benz, aston martin sucks dick

    type W140 - S600 or W220 - S600 than u see tha real Battleships

  • @SSStormtroop Aston has more beautifull cars. And please don't respond with anything obscene, at home we have three Mercedes-Benz's, so I defenitely love the company, but it's not comparible. If I was a pop-star I'd choose the Aston, as a CEO (or anything high in a company) I'd always, undoubtedly would choose a Mercedes-Benz. (SL, S, E, CLS, CL, G, ML, SLS, SLR, R, C-class even... it wouldn't really matter).

  • the mercedes cl looks kinda strange! is it a special us spec, cause the ones that i ve seen here in europe look defenitely different!

  • @FreiherrvonWeilberg remember this is a 2007 review

  • BEAMER BENZ OR BENTLEY ??

  • @bigmuffin1 bimmer not beamer

  • i like how they shot these cars on "the snake". i love that road, great road to cruise!

  • its a bentley! enough said...

    :)

  • I think if they got a benz in a different color scheme, they would have liked it even better.

  • nopee i jst dont agree with this videoo... mercedes has become a casual name now.. to the point where you can pretty much see one down every road... bentley has the priceless name behind it.. and if you can afford either of these, its going to be all about the name for you.. bentley is just in a different class, also if all you wanted is fast speeds and performance, go and get a lambo or porshe, its not all about speed when your that rich, its about prestige and bentley has buckets of it. ;)

  • @pur3tamilz

    Correct. If your in the market for a Bentley, your are not cross shopping an MB. Quality and performance aside, its a status thing. You cross shop Ferrari and Maserati in this price range. Aston too.

  • @pur3tamilz exactly. Someone who agrees! Saying you have a Mercedes is pretty common now, but saying that you have a Bentley brings you to a whole new level of class.I have both, the CL 63 AMG and the continental supersports and I have to say that I love my Bentley. It hugs the road perfectly when I open up the throttle, but in the AMG I feel that even a twitch of the steering wheel will send it sideways under hard acceleration.

  • @pur3tamilz Buyers of this car are old blokes, at least they wern't ment for rappers

    They do care about, how big the chairs are(for they have fat asses) and they do care that the ride quality is good.

    And whats so prestigious about an engine thats also available in a VW? Christ even the tailpipes aren't real...

  • @pur3tamilz But you forgot to mention that this Bentley is based off a VW. VW has RUINED the Bentley brand. It's below Rolls Royce now.

  • mercedes of course :D do u know that this bentley has got plastic grill buhahahaha

  • Where I live Mercedes are so common, dull and boring. I saw a Bentley parked on Walgreens. Nice car.

    I reject the day I lease a Mercedes Benz C300. After 2 years I switched to a BMW 328i. Nice car and nice power.

  • They should have used the CL65 instead

  • @TheVtieg6 no, the 65 is too sporty for this test, the cl600 is the ultimate luxury coupe with a huge engine :)

  • @Janeshcw

    True

  • Mercedes is bigger, more comfortable (I personally think it looks better but that's me), and faster than the Bentley. The only cars it will be competing with is the CL63 and the CL65 AMGs. I think the CL65 is overkill, from what I heard, you couldn't use all that power even if you wanted to. The CL63 and CL600 are dangerously close in price and are roughly the same power (CL600 makes more torque). Tough choice...

  • @yourbestfriend6492

    CL63 is cheaper and hungrier than CL600, and produces much less torgue. CL65 is a nonsense on wheels, same as SL65 and S65, they notoriously fail to deliver that power to the wheels, a guaranteed waste of money. If you like the AMG budge and CL600 power, get CL600 with complete AMG kit, which will be just 5 grand more than the base CL600, and at least 50 grand cheaper than CL65.

  • @yourbestfriend6492 I fully agree

  • Bentley: Mercedes, You are good, BUT I'M BETTAAHR(English accent)

  • bentley much better

  • mercedes at its best the cl class is the best looking mercedes ever

  • I have the money to buy either AND money IS an object.

    Why do you think I have money?

    People with no money, it seems, don't get the equation... hence do not think clearly.

  • if i would have much money i would buy the Bentley Maskulin car.. very elegant RICH BITCH ;) haha dress a HUGO BOSS polo shirt and drive this car u r pimpeD

  • Mercedes-benz

    AWESOME CARZ

  • WTF people?? Why you are talking about BMW in this vid?? Do you want to tell that they own Bentley?? ''NO'' Volkswagen who owns it .. So stop talking about BMW here

  • There is better than the CL600 ..

    Its the CL65 AMG that car is sexy with another rims and 4 exhausts with new body kit .. this CL600 is just normal and they compet it with the Continental GT and look how it keep up

  • BENTLEY!

  • idiot the cl is much more comfortable, safier and better looking than the bentley!!!mercedes is in every league!!!bmw not!!!

  • @germanysbest89

    the cl looks like ass. What the fuck are you talking about. The CLS, now that's a good looking car.

  • @MrHav1k agreed

  • @germanysbest89 Bentley kicks ass! I have both the CL 63 AMG and Bentley Continental Supersports!! My Bentley is the best car I've ever driven!! (and ive driven quite a few)

  • Why does everyone keep bringing up BMW? It's not part of this test.

  • hahahaaa cl65 would murder the bently... but it would be around the same price ... but id pay more for a v12 twin turbo with a sexii body than buy a bently

  • I love both, CL and Continental GT.

  • Merc are the best cars!!!!

    You cant compare BMW and Mercedes....

  • stupid. Cant compare Bentley with a Mercedes! BMW and Mercedes are on the same stage!

  • loook at the models merc and bmw are building

    merc: about 16

    bmw: abput 10

    any questions?

  • Agreed, Mercedes is cheaper then a Bentley but better, more efficient, more luxury and so on... then a BMW really doesn't have a chance...

  • Something I have never understood is why some older cars can stop better than these newer ones. I drive a 1990 Jaguar saloon and its got single piston brakes and it can stop from 60mph in 107 ft. and it weighs more than both of these. So why do these lighter cars with 6 piston calipers need more room to stop. Ive never understood it.

  • The merc sounds better

  • I like the bentley, but this shows that mercedes really is #1

  • @skbuoy no true. That was a low-end Bentley compared to a High-end benze. bentley is better

  • there is no such thing as a low end bentley. plus if you do compare mercedes to the arnage, azure, brooklands, mercedes still comes on top!!! and honestly the flying spur is bentleys best car believe it or not. i have nothing against bentley truly wonderful car maker but mercedes is just better and offers more for less money

  • @skbuoy what??? mercedes #1? R U KIDDING?

  • @ikezz no man! i'm serious type of guy... the mercedes is technically more advanced and far cheaper than the bentley. the bentley is all about the brand, image. in reality it isnt a true bentley, its based on vw phaeton

  • @skbuoy: you're right, this continental is vw and audi... the old bentleys was another thing

  • @ikezz yup, have you ever been on an arnage?...even the base model is badass!

  • @skbuoy I can only imagine

  • @ikezz

    are you blind or are u suffering from serious down syndrome! Mercedes is clearly the best here whether u like it or not! DONT REPLY

  • @hairlesheep: here yes, not always and everywhere

  • @ikezz

    shut up! do you even own any of these cars

  • @hairlesheep: and you?

  • I hate Bentley. The Merc would be nice with a ///AMG bodykit. The CL65 ///AMG is for guys who want the best specs. The CL600 is practically the same except for a few small things.
