CL63 030 Blk/Blk
I just drove a C300.

Actually, my CL63 is in the shop for routine maintenance and they gave me a new C300. I wasn’t expecting much having driven the previous version but I was pleasantly surprised. The car is fun to drive and the Sport function when shifted manually was very nice.

No question, MB’s lineup best on the road.

My GF mother just got one. Her dad and I took it out on the highway and it was a blast for a base line car. It pulls well and handles too. I was thinking a C350 would be a nice daily if it was a little bigger (I am tall).

Actually, tend to think these loaner/limo MBs are refreshing reminders of why any new AMG CL is worth every penny of its well-known deprec....

Few mths back, drove a new E-Class loaner when my CL was in for routine svc; scared the hell out of me to drive a car w/sloppy steering/brakes/chassis, even at 65MPH on a busy, urban fwy...

Recently had to ride in an S550 in NYC....what a plasticky POS interior (ignoring the inept driver...they don't hand those jobs out to just anyone...life for wealthy in Manhattan is decidedly 3rd World, unlike SF/BH where one drives own new AMG CL everywhere, even in the horrendous winter rains)....though CL63 isn't much less plasticky....
