Here's a car that's hard to think about in rational terms after spending 100 miles in the pilot's seat. You drive a CLK55 AMG around (windows all down unless it's raining, because it just looks so cool with no B-pillars), whipping its 362 horses to a shiny lather and bending its taut but supple chassis hard into every conceivable ess and kink in the road, and you emerge thinking: What're the child slavers paying for a firstborn these days? I must have this car! Then you glance at the eye-watering $82,025 sticker price, and suddenly a lifetime of tardy Father's and Mother's Day cards seems the better deal.
Ah, but the rational cars at your tony tristar dealer don't wear the AMG badge. These cars are different. Brutal. Special-only 1500 CLK55s will be sold here this year. Their engines are hand-built (we built one for a story last March: "Yes, They're Hand-Built," page 59). Their performance is holistically upgraded from lesser CLKs-engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, wheels, tires-and the results are spectacular.
Introduced late in the 2003 model year, this CLK55 AMG is powered by the same 5.4-liter naturally aspirated V-8 that motivated its predecessor, tuned for 20 more horses (freer breathing brings the total to 362), with torque holding at 376 pound-feet. The reinforced five-speed automatic features AMG's Speedshift programming. Sport and comfort modes adapt shift points and firmness to differing driving styles, or press a button for manumatic mode, and the driver can control shifts via the lever or via buttons on the back of the steering wheel. In this mode it remains more manual than most Benzes, upshifting to prevent over-revving but never downshifting at wide-open throttle.
Underneath, AMG shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars lock down the body and quicken response rates without punishing the passengers. In a nod to ride plushness, the rubber is modest: 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears on 17-inch rims (oddly enough, wider tires are available on the base CLK Sport package). Big 13.6-inch-front and 11.8-inch-rear brake rotors are grasped by four-piston-front and two-piston-rear monoblock calipers.
All this hi-po hardware shoulders a hefty load. Our option-laden example burdened the scales at 3808 pounds. That's 414 pounds up on the CLK's most obvious competitor, the 333-hp BMW M3 (which costs between $48,195 and $60,780). The six-speed manual M3 is geared way shorter than is the automatic CLK, and it revs 1500 rpm higher (to 8000), so both cars shift at nearly the same speeds, leading one to favor the M3 in a drag race. But the CLK's V-8 out-torques the M3's six by 114 pound-feet, and this pulls the CLK ahead of the last M3 we tested by 0.1 second to 60 mph (4.7 seconds) and by 0.4 and 2 mph through the quarter-mile (13.2 at 107 mph). Of course, if you're willing to close the M3-to-CLK55 price gap by $17,798, aftermarket tuner Steve Dinan can close the performance gap (see page 112). It's also worth noting that the new CLK55 runs 0.2 to 0.3 second quicker than its 288-pound-lighter predecessor.
That acceleration is accompanied by a glorious baritone engine note-you know, somewhere maybe a third of the way up the scale between a bass Chevy big-block and a soprano Ferrari 360. The chassis behaves beautifully, too, providing good isolation from small impacts while cleaving tightly to the road over dips and humps. The new rack-and-pinion steering even tickles the fingertips with a reasonably detailed accounting of what's happening down at the contact patches (although the feel remains a touch numb just off-center). The brake pedal feels firm and reassuring, even after repeated overuse. Trouble is, with all this mass and those relatively small tires (the BMW wears 18s with 255/40s in the rear), the handling limits are modest: a sensible-shoes 0.80 g and a ho-hum 173 feet to stop from 70 mph (the M3 manages 0.87 g and 161 feet).
This isn't an M3. It's prettier, more comfortable, easier to drive, and slightly quicker. And without the radar cruise, keyless ignition, built-in phone, park assist, and other resistible tinsel, it can be had for $70,770. Even at that price this will never rank as a rational purchase, but it might be a tad bit easier to rationalize.

Range Rover versus Mercedes-Benz: Which makes a more appealing SUV?
Mon, Aug 14 2017From time to time — truth be told, all the time — the Autoblog staff enjoys a good debate on the merits and demerits of the cars and trucks we drive each week. This week, we spent some time in a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV, a model some of us think sits at the pinnacle of the luxury utility vehicle segment. Others disagree. The following is a real-life online debate that took place over the course of a few hours. Have a read, and feel free to take sides. There's a poll at the end so you can make your voice heard. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Strange as it may sound, Jeremy Clarkson and I have a few things in common, most obvious of which is that we share a given name. But we also both love cars so much that we decided to turn our automotive passion into a career — with varying degrees of success, of course — and we both have come to realize over time that there's no point in trying to topple the Land Rover Range Rover as the world's best luxury off-road utility vehicle. Thing is, this universal truth isn't quite as universally shared as I think it should be. In fact, my esteemed colleague Alex Kierstein believes that Mercedes-Benz makes the most desirable four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles. He's clearly wrong, but I feel obligated to let him explain his choice, though it won't go without a rebuttal. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein: That's correct, and so am I in this regard. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but it's an irrefutable fact that Mercedes-Benz is doing the best interiors in the business now. And the interior is where you're going to spend most of your time, at least when the thing's running. The Range Rover's interior simply isn't as special, and frankly it'll be in the shop enough that you won't enjoy it. Now, stepping into pretty much any contemporary Mercedes sedan interior is a "wow" moment. They seem special — posh, exclusive, luxurious. The SUVs, all older vehicles coming due for total redesigns at some point in the future, are lagging a bit, but it's still a premium and upscale experience. Especially since performance is almost academic at this point. Anything in this class is going to be powerful, almost absurdly so. So why not go for the one that makes you feel like royalty, rather than your mechanic? JK: I just want to point out that it was you who brought reliability into this discussion.
2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs big luxury off-roaders: How they compare on paper
Mon, May 7 2018During our first drive of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the all-new SUV's product manager was asked to identify competitors that might have been benchmarked in its development. The look on his face was about the same as if someone had asked him to recite King Lear in Klingon. As far as Andreas Hoeppel was concerned, the G 550 and AMG G 63 doesn't actually have a rival, or at least something the engineers and designers thought to compare it against. The G-Class is a G-Class, who cares what the other guys are doing? Well, in case you care, we figured we'd plug the new G-Class' specs into the old Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM) to see how the G 550 and AMG G 63 compare to the Range Rover and its mightiest SVAutobiography Dynamic model, plus the Lexus LX 570 and Bentley Bentayga V8. Frankly, Heir Hoeppel was onto something as each of these is wildly different. But, they do share some common elements: giant size and weight, ultra-lux interiors, and far more off-roading capability than other luxury SUVs offer and any of its owners are likely to ever utilize. Sad. So enjoy this trip down specification lane, and if you're still left hungry, you can always check out our Range Rover comparison or create your very own comparo. Off-Road Clearances and Capability All the fancy off-roading software and special cameras in the world won't do you a lick of good if your SUV is too close to the ground or has low-hanging body work that'll get easily ripped off. As such, check out each of these uber-SUV's ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading/fording depths. In this case, the Range Rover has an advantage due to its air suspension that can raise itself into an Off-Roading height that's a whopping 2 inches higher than the new G-Wagen. Sadly for itself, Lexus only provides figures for its air suspension when in normal height. It could match or surpass the Range Rover for all we know (but doubt it). As Land Rover does provide figures for the Range Rover's approach and departure angles in normal and Off-Road height, you can get an idea of just how much clearance the new G-Wagen has without any fancy (and expensive to fix) raising and lowering air suspension hardware. In fact, its departure angle is better than even the Range Rover's Off-Road height. Bentley doesn't provide any such information despite touting the Bentayga's surprising off-roading talents.
