also watch for the S65.. same powerplant, maybe $20k less.. i'm sure there will also be a SL65 variant eventually as well..

the CL is the ultimate sleeper!

 

[getbit]

unbelievable power. The SL65 was announced to available on our shores also. They are considering it a Ferrari Fighter...

Those cars are simply amazing. The CL65 and the S65 would be the ultimate daily drivers. Both are great looking cars with unbelieveable horsepower. Luxury and performance are a great combination that Mercedes really has a grasp on IMO.

and the SRT-10 looks like a Camero SS or Honda S2000. I know what I would rather have my car look like.

just hope the styling of the GTS version is as edgy as the gen 2 GTS. the different models of the bimmers and benzs just don't set themselves apart in my eyes.

They are great sleeper, luxury sedans.
The only thing is that a much better deal is to buy a super-low-mileage CL600 or S600 for $100K and then add a RennTech chip/pulley, and some nice sporty larger wheels and tires. The chip/pulley setup provides the same power as the CL65/S65 for about $4K. :thumb:

But this one goes to 11. :squint:

To bad about the price, I can think of a few other cars that would come before that one if I had 200g's to drop.

Don't worry in about 3-4 years they will be worth 1/2 of what they sell new.
