Why should I also consider these? X

The CL-Class is more expensive than any other mass-market coupe, but priced well below what the most exclusive prestige brands have to offer.

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 sportscar 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.

The other more surprising competitor to the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class comes from within Mercedes's own stable; its SL-Class roadster is in a similar price class, with a stunning interior, similar high-performance AMG models, and some of the same tech features, but it's a bit more performance-focused than the CL.
