In a follow-up to their original CL "First Drive" article - one that looked at the V8-propelled CL550 - Inside Line today has published a second CL "First Drive", this time analyzing the even more covetable V12-powered CL600.

As with their initial CL first drive impressions, reviewers found the higher-horsepowered variant to be everything you'd expect from a Mercedes luxury coupe.  Opulent, powerful, stunning, sensuous - these are just some of the words the author used to describe the CL600.

So what was Inside Line's final conclusion?

"[The Mercedes CL] has sloughed off its former aloof grandeur and replaced it with a sensuous, powerful presence that has us guessing that the Mercedes design team was holed up in an Italian villa during the design process. As finely woven and crisply creased as a bespoke suit from the finest Milanese tailor, the CL600 is a gorgeous compendium of everything Mercedes-Benz knows how to do with a passenger car."

Well put, if I do say so myself.

To learn more, head over to Inside Line where you can find the full article detailing their time behind the wheel of the CL600.

And to Jinx, Cameron and Erich: thanks for the tip gentlemen, we always appreciate it.
