That's what I'm talking about. It's about style not how fast it goes. Those other cars can't give you that. Don't get me wrong, they have style but it's not the style you get when you have a CL600. I for one would not buy a CL600 with an MSRP of 130k if I wanted a car that was faster than all those 3 cars.

I think an F430 has some style... its not understated like a CL obviously, but... its definitely got style...

Still, I think the most classicaly stylish coupes out there are the Astons. Especially the DB9, and the new Vantage. I am dissapointed in the new CL. Its not bad, but its not GREAT like the CL was in 2000.

IMHO the new CL is just butt ugly

The astons have always been one of my favorites. How great does the DB5 still looks huh?

My bad absent. As ridiculous as it sounds, the 2003 CL600 TT is in fact limited to only 130 mph. I too thought it was 155 mph. However, I called up several MB Sources to make sure, and they said it was 130 mph. I find that limiting the car to that is nonsense, but, as the sources say, that is where the limter stands.
