Dont remember seeing this one before but here we go anyway ...

http://www.autocarmag.com/FirstDrive....asp?RT=221128

The summary is particularly telling...

"Initial impressions are that the CLS63 perhaps falls short of delivering the same sort of crushing performance dished out by its predecessor. But stick with it and you discover it is in fact a much more rounded car: one that’s better to drive, faster where it matters most, more forgiving at the limit and brilliantly supple. It replaces it with a level of finesse you just didn’t get before. In the end, it’s this particular quality that really sets it apart."
