learn how to use technology before criticizing it. you don't know how to operate a seat?! also, if your concern is what to put in a door pocket, you shouldn't be sharing your opinion. find another hobby.
Me personally, I'd rather get some beat up Honda Civic Hatchback for like $ 2000.00, then use the other $ 120 000 that I would use on this and modify the hell out of the Civic from the ground up and still have some money left over.
I don't like that they took off the ABC suspension and made 4matic mandatory in the US. What if I wanted rear-wheel drive? Dumb move by Mercedes. I guess one could fork up for the CL600.
I love how all the people that can't afford this car think of it as a badass gangster car but in reality it's all soft and is viewed as classy by the people that can actually pay for it.
This guy should go back to reviewing Kia's and Hyundai's because all his big ass do is complain over a superb vehicle. "My seat is too advanced" and ",My instrument cluster is a high-tech thin film transmitter LCD screen." Get over it redneck, it is a $120,000 Mercedes-Benz.
please top gear review this car because its THE best looking mercedes ever made.. more than the SL this is way better car.WHAT ACAR THIS THANK YOU MERCEDES THANK YOU.I WILL BUY THIS CAR FOR ITS LOOK
To be honest, if I had 120k to spend on a car, I wouldn't spend it on a used Lamborghini Gallardo. But, hey that's just my opinion. I like the car, but not for me though. lol.
this guy is the type that doesnt appreciate the fact he even gets to sit in a car this great!!!! n im sure Mercedes didnt lest them interview it to lessen the list of people that wanna buy it... if you wanna buy the best coupe out there today then this is the car 4 u!!!!!
you guys should review a 2010 scion tc, that would be great, i liked the fit of the car but havnt gotten to drive it, and i would like to kno how praactical u guys think it is
@AlecTheJimSlayer421 You pay for a high-tech and extremely comfortable interior, German engineering, a dynamic, but comfortable car, high-quality materials, and the prestige of the three pointed star. None of which the Yank-made Corvette has. And can you name a time when the CL-Class Benz has been "cheap"?
"Best your money can get for $120,000."?!?!? What about a Maserati GranTurismo? 400bhp with USABLE rear seating and italian style. Come on guys, step it up!
@K30N4D3 It most definitely is the best for you money. i have driven the GranTurismo & it does not compare at all to a CL550. The comfort & precision cant be beat.
@K30N4D3 man please. THey dont even compare two absolutely different cars. The rear seats of the cl are very usable i dont know who told u different. If u can afford it nobody is telling u to buy it, but dont diss it. Plus 18bhp does not make much of a difference anyway.
@kwaseb I wasn't dissing the CL at all, I actually looked at getting one over my Quattroporte but decided that it's to common for the $. The problem is that if you wanted a top of the line CL (to stand out of the crowd) you'd need to spend between 146k and 160k on a AMG or the 600. Otherwise your driving the same car as ~9000 others. I took a look at the rear seats in the CL and I agree with FLDetours that they're small for a car of that size - the ones in the Maserati offer a few more inches.
I don't mean to sound negative, I have so much respect for the designers and engineers at Mercedes, but this one guys just looks really...not that good. It's like they started off the design with a giant block of clay, they had something smooth, edgy with a touch of sportiness and sophistication, then someone left the model out in the sun and it melted a little. The next guy came along and just used THAT to make the final product.
I love Mercedes, but in this case for 120k I'd rather take the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I think its just a better car than this in any aspect, exept maybe in rear seat room, but then again, if you have 120k and are going to buy a 2 door, you might as well just get the best 2 door. Who cares about practicallity?
Just because the CL is 2 doors doesn't make it the same as the aston. The CL is a GT and the aston while having some gt qualities is much more sporty.
A lot of people do. You can say it won't be that bad but you can get in lots of situations where you really wish you had 2more seats. And I don't think the aston is better in every way. The CL is much more comfterable, luxurious, roomy, and safer.
My nieghbour have got the CL63 & he loves it . Wanna know how good it is here , in jordan , you'll still have people wanting to buy it even when it's 20 years old
I know the car is 100+ dollars,m but it is just unbelievable gorgeous. I have never driving one but it looks like its worth every penny. Also, a car that drives that good and is that big and heavy is unique in its class. Even though it is extremely expensive, I will buy it (if I had the money...)
@Jfroese2007 i hate you people who think all mercs cost a lot because of the badge. do you really think that there's a similar level of engineering and quality between a mercedes cl and another 50k car, like a bmw 5 series? get real.
I hate people like you who actually think the car is worth that much. The badge is a huge part of the price, sure the Mercedes is better then a $50k car, but not $70k better.
@Jfroese2007 they do have to make a profit you know, and there is of course some premium for the brand, but it's not nearly as bad as you're thinking.
Keep this guy for the economy car reviews, he can't handle the upscale amenities of a real luxury car like this.

For $120k, i'd buy a used BMW 335i Coupe, Vishnu Stage 3 chip.
With the extra $80,000~ i'd buy a lot of weed and In-n-Out and be happy with what i've got.
Most people don't "buy" these cars, they lease them and wait for the next one to come out. Wish I was wealthy haha

I'm a HUGE GT-R fan but I'm talking about everyday drivability. The GT-R is INCREDIBLY harsh and the gearbox is clunky and city speeds.
If you're going to track it or drive on back roads then you're better off with a GT-R but that's not what I'm talking about.
