2012 Mercedes-Benz CL550 4Matic

In the world of big, luxurious GT cars, the Mercedes-Benz CL is perfect.We all know that the Mercedes-Benz CL is a fabulous ride with stunning design and the ability to sprint to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds (and that's the "base" CL550). But what I got to enjoy about the CL this time around is its excellent all-weather capability. Even on all-season tires, the all-wheel-drive CL550 easily tackled Ann Arbor's first real snowstorm of the season. You've actually got to be careful because the car insulates you so well from what's going on outside and on the road surface that it's easy to find yourself going faster than you should be on slippery surfaces. The heated steering wheel and seats and excellent defrosters made my snowy late-night drive home that much nicer. With winter tires on a CLS550, the only limiting factor in winter would be ground clearance.
