Mercedes pricing is going haywire. Base price on a CL is what, $20k higher than when the car launched.
Mercedes is going head to head with the new V12 Bentley Continental coupe. Both offer All Wheel Drive as standard and the Mercedes new 4.7liter Bi-Turbo V8 matches the Bentleys torque band, 516lb-ft. The Bentley hits 60mph in 4.4 sec, the Benz 4.1 sec. I still believe the Merc offers quit a bit more creature comforts than the Bentley to boot. Lets not forget better gas-milage to.
