just pulled trigger on 07 CL600..out with z8

will not be here till early feb. wil be black but have a few weeks to decide color may go designo but feel it is bad investment (not that all 600's in the past are) getting rid of z8 I think..whaddya think?

ps still getting 911 or r8...thinking 911 as of late...911c4s that is.

I would get CL 63 but why??? 600 way faster and better riding I am sure.
although the 63 looks better the 600 will be a ton faster. I am convinced since there will be no s class 63 that tell me something about that 63 in heavier cars. CL 600 with sport package...??/

I thought there was going to be a S63? Maybe I am wrong, but the cl600 should still be faster. Good luck and enjoy.

There is going to be an S63.
But the 600 will be faster, there is just no comparison (blown V12 vs N/A V8).
I think that the 600 has always been faster then the 55 even, but MB does not let on to this...

Word from edmunds is the 600 is faster then the 65 too. They say the lack of traction is why the 65 takes longer to get to 60. They rate the 600 at 3.6
0-60 and the 65 is like 4.1. Dont know if this is true but maybe.

yes i've heard this a lot also , but then anyway 65 gets faster we can even compare by 1/4 mile runs, sl600 does around 12.1 , the 65 does around 11.7 and 55 is the slowest one around 12.6 ?? and i've also read alot from 600 owners that after the ttv12 the 55 feels HORRIBLE .
