congrats, now you're slower, burn more gas and harder to park due to it's size.

But otherwise, good stuff.

RLs are gorgious. How much did you pay for it? Show us pictures. And so fucking what if you don't jump off the line as fast... When that 3.5 Liter spools up... damn she'll flat fucking move down the highway. I bet 110mph is very smooth... Prolly feel like you are in the cockpit of a Lear nearing take-off speeds.

Your 3.0cl will beat the rl in the top end due to the cl being probably lighter and shorter.

Handling is worse since it's a heavier car with a heavier engine and designed to more coushy.

Sorry but the RL is crap. Sure it's better in terms of features,and insonorisation and all the little goodies. But lets face it, you need more than what you have in the CL?

And try paralel park with the RL. lol I hope you got the elite skills.

The new AWD RL is a different beast. Lets not compare CLs to that lol

I think he should have got an M3. That's a classic sports car with heritage. Instead he went and got grandpa mobile.

that's my 2 cents. I drove RL all day at the dealership in the summer.

RL's are nice, but surely a step waaay away from your liking of an M3.

The RL is meant to be a luxury car. Grandpa couldn't handle all the goodies. If you travel by car on the interstate with any regularity you want the RL... It kicks ass... As for comparing the RL wiht the CL, that is just silly. The CL is an entry level luxury car. It surely wasn't meant to be considered a race car either. Besides, look at the A-Spec RL and tell me that is grandpa's car. peace.
