Actually, the CL is in a higher class than a 6-series. It exudes a more stately and exclusive feel. There is a reason it comes with V8 and V12, while the 6er comes in 6 and 8 cylinder versions. I put the CL600, C63, C65 right up there with the Bentley Continental GT.
The direct rival of the GC is Porsche Panamera, not CL, CLS or A7. I think this is a smart move by BMW.
