CL63-HOW WOULD IT HANDLE IN THE SNOW?
I am contemplating getting a CL63 and would like to know if anyone has any experience with this car in snow! How would it handle against the CL550 4matic, especially if you put 4 snows on the CL63?
I would welcome all info. Thanks

Ok, but not great.
I live near Boston, which has about the suckiest weather ANYWHERE and I have 20" Cont's. I have other cars so never drove on the day of a storm and had no real problems but I think that this year I'll get some other wheels and tires for the winter.

CL550 4Matic sucks....primitive, inept Airmatic chassis; weak 550 brakes; plastic econobox/SUV-like interior; and grossly underpowered....and need to waste effort swapping out std all-season tires for proper winter tires for 5mos/yr...
Some in NYC region got new 600s as winter beater cars...and seem pleased, as 600's puny brakes allow easier fit of sufficiently girlie winter wheels/tires...
For 63, may want to look into the 19" wheels that CL63, IIRC, has std in EU...IMO, much better-looking than those silly AMG-poseur 550 wheels...
