Media Review
If the firm ride doesn't remind passengers that they are in a special Benz, the high-side seats and wicked exhaust wail will.
But this new Mercedes C-Class Coupe is a solid contender...with strong and smooth engines, terrific handling and superb fit and finish.
In the esses, the 250's smooth and communicative hydraulically boosted rack-and-pinion steering feels weighty throughout rotation, which, together with an engine screaming for mercy and the optional Sport suspension...makes cornering a surprisingly entertaining...proposition.
The brakes are simply unflappable, with short pedal travel and surprising fade resistance in hard street driving...
The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is that rare animal in the automotive kingdom, a large luxury coupe capable of accommodating two rear passengers in comfort while simultaneously shoving them into their seatbacks with abundant power.
Stomp on the gas, and an orchestra composed of 32 valves and eight cylinders sings forth from the quad-tip dual exhaust.
This car's interior is truly beautiful.
The GL-Class is stuffed with all bits of digital magic, and many of the systems are standard equipment, including the air-ride suspension that smoothes out all but the most rugged travel.
What caught our attention is how well this big, 2-tons-plus SUV comports itself on all roads paved or otherwise.
It's sure to please luxury-loving drivers with its compliant ride and tight handling, as well as its spacious interior and high-tech features.
Ride quality is exceptionally compliant with the standard setup of steel springs and conventional dampers.
When the seven-speed so-called Speedshift automatic upshifts, the exhaust produces a gratifying pop like a single handclap of applause. It invariably makes passengers say "oooooh."
It carved through the corners like an Olympic slalom skier and had just the right amount of power to sprint from one turn to the next.
Life in the fast lane is calm and cool, extra confidence baked into the chassis by the SL's suite of electronic gizmos, including the standard stability control with brake-based torque vectoring and optional Automatic Body Control electronic dampers.
Most important, the 7-in. COMAND screen has been moved to the top of the center stack, where it is more usable.
But how does the S550 drive? Like a large ingot of steel easing along on a layer of lubricating oil - dense, but light of friction.

Even more impressive than the power is the ML's handling. Simply put, it has far more grip and poise than it has any right to, given its tall ride height and weight.
Because of limited third-row kneeroom and a second-row center-seat position equipped with a fold-down armrest/cup holder, the GL is no seven-passenger limo, but it can nicely accommodate four adults, three kids, and 16 cubic feet of luggage.
As you'd want for an off-road vehicle, the brakes have an amazingly long travel, zero grabbiness and endless modularity. They're also devastatingly effective, as the G comes to a stop in a surprisingly short distance with absolutely no wiggle or pitch.

For all its face-distorting thrust, the CL's really amazing attribute is how adroitly it handles a sinuous stretch of back road.
One of our favorite compact Uber-sedans of the modern age returns with a fresh, yet still thoroughly irascible demeanor based off the updated 2012 C-Class. More significantly, though, is that it'll be offered in both "practical" 4-door form or what will certainly be the highly desirable coupe.
