The only issue I have with benz is that they have detuned this motor in their lesser applications. The CL (as will the S/ SL) get 446hp/516 torques (I may have the #s a little skewed), while the CLS gets 402hp/442 torques. If they had given the same power/ torque combination, there was no contest. CLS all day every day
