    I had a CL55. Fast as all heck, handled amazing well for a 4200 lb car, comfy, great electroaudio setup. Neutral balance dynamics at practically any speed; uncanny.

    Enjoy the 63 -- but I think you'll find the Germans have taken a bit of the thrill out. Or maybe I'm confusing "thrill" with "questionable reliability" in the Italian cars.

    All of these car's are great, but arent practical for real every day driving. Audi R8 or 997TT hands down!

    Hey - I am still here and the 400i is still my daily driver. I have not been posting much only because the damn thing just keeps on going. No rust and nothing to speak of has broken - just turn the key and go. So, not much to post about. I have driven it in truly bad conditions (including a moderate freezing rain / ice storm a couple of weeks ago) and with the four Blizzaks it was fine. Here is a pic of it in my garage in the country with my wife's new D-90. Two cool vehicles.

    I realize you said you're not a bentley fan, but I own one and I can tell you, not only is the GT a terrific daily driver, it's also tremendous in the snow and ice. I go skiing in VT just about every weekend and the thing just kicks butt in the snow w its 4wd system. I'm a Ferrari fan as well, but nothing compares with what Bentley did for a those of us who want to drive our cars every day in and out of the city, come rain or shine.

    Hey - I wish you would have sold me your green TR when I asked - that would have made it perfect! :) But yes, wife alternates between the yellow D-90, a new Audi Q7, and a breathed on 450slc (her vintage rally mount). Life is Good!
