The CL is a damn nice car, but not exotic in my opinion. The Mercedes SLR is exotic.
I'm not sure about an R8 being exotic car, I see them here like roaches

CL are very rear. I wouldn't consider it exotic but it's just the right car with every option.

CakeDaddy, you hit the on the head. All of those other cars are "exotics" The Cl is a fine automobile with delicious road manners and luxury abounding. Exotic, not even a CL65 "tricked to jesus" IMHO
