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 18-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.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.

Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany

Wed, 07 May 2014

Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
