Very nice car indeed, one of the best looking cars a man can find these days. Congrats on a wonderful choice you've made.

Congratulations mate very nice, will be interesting to see if it not being a amg bothers you in the sense you lust after another once you have owned it for a while.

Simply lovely John - there's not much around that carries itself so well as a CL

I hear you guys on the AMG thing.
As things stand right now, I genuinely have no interest in another AMG.
Whether that is because I had the E so long, or whether I've just moved on either temporarily or permanently, I guess time will tell.
I can't see me ever changing though - so whilst I spotted a CL63 on aka$h's website in black and it did look amazing, and whilst the one for me would be the CL65, I know I would be straight round Acid's and running it as far as I did the E. Then I would be back to chasing/losing anything fruity again.
I've been the same for 23 years and whilst many probably grow out of it, I just don't feel like I ever will.

Cheers all - nice to hear some other perspectives too. Glad the choice is generally approved of!
So after driving it for a while now - I'm absolutely loving wafting around in it and lording it up.
I'm being referred to as the CEO at work now.
The CEO could afford many many brand new fully-loaded CL65s so I don't feel the same - although her other half drives their E class which is well spec'd.
Although it is a fair bit slower than the E, it does shift when required. I can imagine a tuned CL65 is awesome.
It's quite nice driving the same roads I normally do and seeing things from a different perspective.
Other cars jostling for position and getting angry with each other.
I even let two people in front in a row when it was a "merge in turn" type situation - because I couldn't care less.
Only now I realise quite how stressful driving a fast car can be - at least for me.
I get home feeling more rested than when I started the journey.
Working well for the stress levels I have to say - glad I made the change now.
Wholly recommended!

John, I totally get where you are coming from and it's something I seem to suffer from when I own a performance car. I just seem to want to be ahead and making progress as people call it.
I have conquered any temptation on all roads upto national speed limit. From that point onwards I'm quilty of driving like I did in my twenties a lot of the time.
Like you I'm finding it stressful and my saving grace is that most of my driving is local now days.
It's for this reason I'm pretty sure my next car won't be another AMG. It will have power but in a similar vain to yours.
I'm glad your enjoying the switch mate.
