Yep. I think I could overlook my previous comment for that. They don't make that engine anymore do they?

Only thing wrong with that is the texture on the seats/door panel, looks like something my grandma would love.

i prefer the 2008 cl65. a 200k+ car than runs about $110k right now.
same drivetrain, sleeker design imo
if you are into ballistic tanks that is...

both the CL and S are beautiful.
I have a perchance for big sedans, but the coupe is awesome as well.
A CL of some type might be my next daily way off into the future.

i thought you didn't like AMGs?  Something about sports sedans? Sedans should be sedans, sport cars should be sport cars or something?
car is gorgeous though

While I tend to think AMG ruins perfectly good sedans, their v12 models are somewhat different. Its still very quiet (inside), and the power is addictive. The 600 may be more my style, but this particular car doesn't something for me.

Looks like they were aspiring to Bentley with the quilted upholstery. I'd take a nap in the back seat.

Both the CL and S are beautiful cars. I think I slightly prefer the looks of the CL but I think it would be a little odd and a bit of a hassle to have people trying to climb in and out of the backseat in such a nice car.
I love AMGs mentality with the 65s. There's no chincy 1-upping like, "Oh well the competition has 500 HP so we'll go for 501 HP." They just raise the bar to a level they know no one else can touch.

Shame the Panamera is by far one of the ugliest cars to come out of Stuttgart.

I've still never liked the rear of the new S-class, but bloody hell that thing is wicked. Also not crazy about the diamond pattern, certainly not on the door panels...but this is all minor stuff. Either way, perfect luxury barge DD.

Yup. Though I still think the 7-series is built more to my tastes, driving an S around is like cruising in a finely-tuned luxury mansion

Interior is the best thing about the car (aesthetically). I love the black/tan/wood color scheme... very similar to my TL. I don't really like the exterior of the new Mercedeses. My favorite style Mercedes were the previous gen SL-series with the dual headlights.

the sl black is not something I get into.
$100k more than a standard sl65, with no folding roof, some wide fender flairs, a bit more hp, some ugly wheels, and some carbon fiber?
Then again, I don't really like the SL anyway.

nav, auto lots of carbon, and it looks mean and cartoonish  its got the mix of race and gizmos.. other than that its overpriced, and on the slow side.
