2007 CLS-Class Review Summary & Specifications

The Mercedes-Benz CLS is beautiful to look at and almost as pleasing to drive. It gives up one seat in passenger capacity to most luxury sedans, but its visual impact is undeniable. There's plenty of power from the CLS550 with its new V8, and the CLS63 AMG is a real screamer.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Greg Brown filed this report from Rome.
