  | Motor Trend - First Drive: 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL550 4MATIC  Coupe de Gravel: Tackle trails in regal style Okay, admittedly the graceful coupe pictured here is not aimed at plutocratic off-roaders, but the engineers on hand at its launch proudly recalled an instance while mountain testing when they encountered a team of fellow development engineers shaking down a proper off-roader. Upon hiking the AIRMATIC suspenders up to tippy-toe mode, their graceful and gorgeous coupe managed to tackle a trail that impressed the truckers. 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL550 4MATIC - First Drive - Motor Trend M

 Absolutely - with AMG package, it is definitely the best looking Coupé!! But sadly, not really affordable.

| Re: Motor Trend - First Drive: 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL550 4MATIC didn't like it when it was first introduced, but its got the sportiness of the old model combined with the sheer luxury of this model.. Wow I love it in black with the AMG Package, dream car right there

| Re: Motor Trend - First Drive: 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL550 4MATIC Oh thank you benevolent and wise Mercedes-Benz. Thank you for getting the CL550 4-matic to the USA. A car we need like a hole in the head. A car that will have trunk money within the first year, and do a tremendous job collecting dust at showrooms across America. A car that loses the benefit of Active Body Control because it won't jive technically with AWD. A car that appears to fill no niche. Thank you Mercedes for inundating us with another useless super low volume car that eats floor plan, and does nothing to advance the brand. And don't worry about getting us something that would actually stir up buyers like a C-class diesel. Take the CL550 4-matic and shove it where the sun don't shine. |
