As they say, "there's an ... for every seat." You're the guy for that car, so glad you found it.
I was just wondering about the lack of updates on the Imperial a few days ago. Now I know...
Yeah, I killed several weekends trying to find the exact car I wanted. As much as I like them, the Chargers just don't fit me well and the audio system suuuuuuuuucks. I nearly bought a new Charger but the seats just didn't fit me and the cars are too common for my tastes.
I drove LOTS of cars from multiple brands and settled on the CL. I discussed it at length with my Mercedes tech friends regarding the CL63 biturbo or the CL65. In the end, I settled on the V12 because the engine is mechanically more reliable and the 5 speed transmission is very tough and pretty hard to kill. The V8 cars with the 7 speeds have a wet clutch that is snappy in the lightweight C class but kinda bothersome in the heavy cars.
In the end, I bought the King of the AMGs. It's not the strongest or the fastest but it is definitely at the top of the game in the big picture.
