This 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL 550 is Probably the Last S-Class Coupe I'll Ever Love

These 'fairly short' 40mins+ reviews are really enjoyable. No need to shorten them lol

I swear Bill deserve an award for the car review king..the funny moments are the best..the angry American rants👌..literally the best..I've actually bought my 09 W211 e class with the AMG sport package based on his review of that car..now I'm on my second one

[@thewizardsofthezoo5376]

He's venting his general frustration in every little detail, it's refreshing and comes across as genuine and truthful, and if most don't do it, they will secretly agree with him. As for the car I found the W215 more select, the new model is beautiful but more "in line" with those newer models that are already too much in my view. The understated Class of the old CL is special, a kind of chemistry you only get in 1 out or 100 models across manufacturers, maybe? And that is very probably because I owe one. I think in automotive in general, there is a point when the electronic became too much, and this specific 2000-2006 has the best of both worlds, all the amenities but it's not like they build a car around an Alienware rig.

[@DsgSleazy]

It's like listening to your grandpa tell a story (at least I think so, I haven't met my grandparents), it kinda comforting, just a bunch of commentary which may or may not be on-topic but at least you know it's 100% genuine.

Nice video. Even though the maintenance costs can be high I still feel the CL / S Class Coupe is probably the best luxury coupe for what it costs used or even new. That pillar-less window design is priceless. The 2007 - 2013 model still looks modern.

The 2012 MBZ CL 550 is absolutely gorgeous to me. You have great taste in automobiles, at any generation, Bill. You are the most comprehensive automotive review person on KZbin today, in my opinion.

I would never jump ahead in Bill's review.

Then, and only then, is it time to get into the history of the manufacturer and then onto talking specifics about the car.

As a person that used to own CL63 6.2N/A and now owns S63 Coupe M157, I can only agree that the CL felt more special and expensive. The S Coupe does not have that charisma anymore.

[@vahebaldemian]

It's something about the feeling of opening the door. Even closing it. Doesn't feel the same. The door handle on the inside doesn't feel the same either. However the S Coupe does have a beautiful interior. If you went from one to the other most all the switches are in the same place. Going from the C215 to this one here was totally different.
