There are a couple of automotive media outlets out there with slightly better budgets than most, and among those there are some who not only provide new car reviews and test drives but also long term tests, which should provide a better understanding of how a car behaves in the long run.
The peeps from Edmund's recently got yet another car for their long term road tests, but this isn't your average econobox that car makers usually loan to journalists but a Mercedes-Benz CL.
It's not your “average” Mercedes-Benz CL either, but a 612 hp (604 bhp) four-wheeled leviathan that's also known as the CL 65 AMG.
Sure, it's a C215 generation from 2005, but that's actually besides the point. We are still talking about a luxurious grand tourer with a twin-turbocharged V12 upfront.
With no less than 612 hp (604 bhp) and an electronically-limited 1,000 Nm (738 lb ft) of torque, an opulent 2+2 interior and no central pillars, the Mercedes-Benz CL 65 AMG C215 is pretty much an epitome of what a Mercedes-Benz flagship model should stand for.
You should probably check Edmund's coverage of their time in the 2005 CL 65 AMG and see how an eight year-old AMG fairs in the modern world.
