Mercedes CL63 AMG: The fine linen of the Devil

The equation is simple to install, is less to solve. Take a sport chassis, insert a motor exuding both power and luxury. Place on it a body of distinguished and elegant coupe, and most importantly, give him the opportunity to travel properly four passengers and their luggage. Then you will take the definition a bit outdated true GT. WP for "grand touring", a label that brings together a few four-seat coupe with a suitable power. Mercedes offers this kind of very exclusive car, as evidenced by the CL, which this year, hides under his new mechanical makeup V8 more sober and more frenzied at a time.Moving quickly on both extremes of the range (the CL550 and CL600) to focus on what we consider to be the most interesting version of the range: the CL63 AMG.

"We tried, but no place to house all the hardware," says Hermann Joseph Storp responsible for its development.Against all odds, it is a CL63 AMG driver. Indeed, the CL 63 AMG behaves with surprising agility and a nose which engages the first swerve. Less than a watered-down standard Mercedes, AMG version back very pleasant sensations, the stability program assuring his office without weakness. But it may disconnect a large extent, making the behavior much more alive. It comes back to a limit very early, when things start to unravel. We can pick your way then, but with a little too efficient and unobtrusive. And even if one is satisfied with the result, we easily arrive at the threshold of discomfort curve. His ability to digest without flinching bends far exceeds the tolerance of occupants who will appreciate being kept at the back of their head. The frame copy of the slightly undulating surface and found, in time, its flexibility to cut down the miles.

2011 Honda CR-Z

Well, what the 2011 Honda CR-Z is not exactly the CRX Redux today we were all waiting. Slightly annoying, yes, but maybe this disappointment has tarnished our initial impression of this new supply of Honda hybrids. We still have many questions about its form and function, but you must accept the fact that times have changed, the strategies of Honda products have been adjusted to the times and the CRX will be a modern classic - particularly the "Yes." In addition, this little two-seat hybrid is not really that bad. Seriously.What we have here is a vehicle that does not intrinsically good many of the senses. Just two squares and numbers EPA fuel economy are underwhelming. A Ford Fiesta, for example, is more functional, less expensive and gets nearly the same combined fuel economy - at least compared with a manual cr-z-equipped as our tester.But do not cancel completely cr-z. It can be difficult to sell if viewed from a big picture perspective, but it alone is a pretty good jumper.
