why ? because mercedes can put a 6.5litre twin turbo V-12 in a CL and know that people would buy one, if i had the money i would go straight out and buy one. i love the CL, and one with something like a 3.5 litre engine is underpowered from the weight, with 600bhp you get ferrari-beating performance with an uber-luxurious interior an truth be told, i absolutely love the CL65.
