To kick things off this crisp October morning the always-alert Shiv directed us to review published by Auto Express yesterday in which the publication looked at the most powerful CL variant to date:  the CL63 AMG.

While the the reviewer seemed generally pleased with the new model, bestowing the CL63 with four out of a possible five stars, he ultimately questioned whether it's a viable option over the similarly-horsepowered (and similarly-priced) CL600 as well as the less-expensive CL500.

Personally, after reading numerous reviews stating that same question, I have to ask: "Am I the only one who finds the CL63 drastically more appealing than it's non-AMG counterparts?"

Sure the CL600 has a V12; sure the two models' costs are comparable; but to me, the visual appeal of the CL63 over the CL600 is reason enough to opt for the AMG-clad variant - V12 or no V12.

When seeing the two models side by side at the local dealership, I think the majority of prospective CL owners will agree.

For more info, head over to Auto Express where you can check out their full CL63 AMG review for yourself.

Thanks for the tip Shiv.
