Editor's Advice:
Have you reached a point in your life where you just don't need four doors or a large back seat, but you still appreciate and desire a sophisticated machine that will swathe you in luxurious comfort and surround you with the latest technology? Do you want a sleek, sporting, exclusive automobile without having to give up creature comforts? Welcome to the 2006 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, an ultra-luxury sport coupe that will tantalize your senses, coddle you in constant comfort, and let everyone at the country club know that you have arrived in style. Those interested in keeping their motoring collection fresh, however, might be put off by the fact that 2006 marks the seventh year for the current CL design. Aston Martin's new DB9 would be an interesting alternative to the CL600.
