Why should I also consider these? X

Surprisingly, the first competitor to the 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class comes from Mercedes’ own stable; its SL-Class roadster is in a similar price class, with a stunning interior, comparable high-performance AMG models, and some of the same tech features, but it's a bit more performance-focused than the CL. The most direct competitor to the CL-Class may be the Bentley Continental, a twin-turbo, 12-cylinder coupe that, like the CL models, blends a classy, conservative interior design with performance that has the straight-line acceleration, if not the handling, to keep up with top sports car models.

Both the CL and the Continental feel hefty and poised on the open road.

Among these two, the Bentley may have the advantage because of the rarity and exclusivity of the brand.
