CL63 on the cover of Autoweek

I wonder if they let the car manufacturer write most of the text.
Every story on a high end car seems an advertisement for the car.

I find it contradicting to say that AMG "stands for torque" in the CL63 article when it in fact has less torque than the CL55 lol

Come on, that is a DAMN sexy looking car. It may have lost a staep vs the supercharged version, but it more than makes up for it in style points!

Who ever said high performance brakes had to include rotors 13 inches or larger?

I agree that the car is bad ***!!! I have seen the 550 in person and it wasnt my cup of tea, but I knew AMG would make it right.
