Edmunds reviews the CL 550

07mbcl550act3500 Edmunds reviews the CL 550
Edmunds has taken the time and reviewed the new CL550, and has nothing but positive things to say about the gorgeous CL. While it was hard for Mercedes to out do themselves with the new model, they actually did it, and the CL and the many positive reviews are the proof. Here is a great quote that sums the review up.

Most of our time in the CL was spent on roads that rarely complemented its size or intent, yet we still had a hard time finding anything wrong with the big coupe. It looks better, goes faster and feels more comfortable than its nearly perfect predecessor. There’s too much weight on board to throw around quickly, but if you want light buy a Lotus. If you want a luxurious, quiet and fast GT, the CL550 is as good as any car on the road. And thanks to Mr. Hutzenlaub, it looks good doing it.

Is CL63 AMG the mystery car???

There is another rumor out there that I personally did not mention when I wrote about the mystery car last week. It seems that every car enthusiast site reporting on this, but as usual I am skeptical about this. These days, anything someone shouts out will be reported on, so let me shout out something here; I think it is the GL AMG, yeah why not, the proportions fit icon smile Is CL63 AMG the mystery car???

Let’s be serious here, it just can’t be the CL, look at the picture above that I constructed, the CL is clearly much longer than the mystery car. Although the roof is pretty close to being the same, but everything else doesn’t match.

If we look at the front, we can clearly see that from the front tip to the fender, the CLs distance is much larger than by the mystery car.

If anyone wants to argue, please leave a comment, but just so you know I have a user that has elgaedldly driven the CLK 63 Black Series and he confirms that it is the mystery car.

His comment:
For having tried the car, I can confirm that it’s the CLK63 AMG Black Series. Let me give you a brief description : Like the SLK AMG Black Series, the door panel is in carbon. This model is only a 2 seater with Recaro style sport seats. The gearstick for the automatic gearbox is very short like in the CLK AMG DTM. On the ashtray cover is written AMG Black Series. The sport steering wheel has a small diameter.

Mercedes working on CL Cabrio

We’ve heard about these plans some time ago, but it is nice to hear these word from a DCX executive. According to a recent interview in Auto Motor und Sport, a senior DaimlerChrysler exec hinted that the company was carefully considering adding a convertible version of the CL luxury coupe. The recent Ocean Drive concept gave Mercedes the chance and technology to develop and extra long convertible roof that is able to be fitted on a four door car. The CL Cabrio will of course only have two doors, but the Ocean Drive Concept technology will no doubt make it feasable to develop a convertible roof for the future CL, which some say will be called the CLC.

The illustration above is from CWW showing what the Convertible may look like; it is a photoshopped version of the coupe.

Mercedes-Benz CL 55 drifting at Nurburgring


This is a very good “how-to” video for all those that don’t know how to drift (me included) and for those that want to have some fun, but not destroy the car. Maybe he is cheating a bit with the water tank in the trunk, but it is there to give him more fun and a better drift.

Mercedes CL Flash Game Challenge

Are you into wasting time during working hours, If yes, then I have something you’ll definitely like. Mercedes has developed a small flash game for the AMG and CL lovers out there. I myself have played the game, and as a flash game expert, I can tell you that this is definitely one of the better ones on the internet. Head over to the AMG site and take the CL for a test drive, but be careful it is kinda slippery on the snow, so try not to bump into the trees.
