I don't like the interior color combinations on both cars!

But both rides are hot as hell. And FAST!

It's not the "frog" man.

There is something dodgy about these figures. Normally, the 55K and 600's do 0-200kph in around 14.5-15.5 seconds. The times shown here are more akin to what the F430 or SL600's run.

 

[Tarek]

The CL 600 is faster very expected,but damn it does look better than the phat CGT!

 

[Mr. Chigga_Chan]

That 4.2 0-100 time seems reasonable, given that the SL600 runs a similar time, as well as the 55k engines. Even though that color combo is really ugly for the CL interior, I prefer it overall to the Bentley...

 

[Sunny]

Do people really buy cars like these based on which is couple of a tenths of a sec faster? Is that even relevant?

 

[Centurion]

Got dammit the CL600 is fast. Accelerates as fast as Gallardo. That is why you should bow when ever you see the number 600 at the back of a Benz.

I actually the Bentley's interior better here, but I need not tell anyone here which car I prefer overall!

[Mr. Chigga_Chan]

If I put all that money down, and some guy is telling me my Ballin' Bentley gets smoked by some Plebian's CL, well...that would piss me off.

I like the CL interior better. More understated, elegant and less obvious looking.
