Detailed Review:
For a car that I was not expecting to like, this one has really won me over. The more that we drive it, the more we like it. We went to the dealership expecting to look at the new TL and became victims of sticker shock. We looked at the CL as an afterthought, took it for a test drive and were very impressed. It is more of a driver's car than I was expecting with crisp handling and a responsive engine. One note, the engine makes most of its power high on the tachometer, for those of us who grew up with V-8's it takes a little getting used to. Mountain driving is fantastic, the transmission never seems to be hunting for the right gear. Overall it's a very comfortable car, I just wish that it was a bit roomier. It's a great car, performance with comfort.
