OLE! Off to General!
Sorry to keep you guys waiting... it helps when you click that little REPORT link as one astute f150online.com member realized. Believe it or not, I don't read every thread.

Yep, the CLS55 was actually faster than the M5 in straight line accelleration tests, but- when they did the figure 8 test, the M5 beat the CLS55 by 24 car-lengths (It gained much time in the surves). The CLS63 will be a more formidable challenge for the M5, but for now, when it comes to sport sedans, the M5 is in a class of one. When it comes to fast sports sedans (highway) it's still slower than the Bentley Flying Spur (192 MPH), mainly due to the gentleman's agreement between BMW and MB to electronically limit their cars to 155 MPH.
The 745Li (believe it or not) was actually quicker that the 745i, even though te Li was longer and heavier. That is one briskly accellerating, awesomely quick, big car. I can't even imagine how insanely fast the 760Li must be, with a full 113 HP advantage over the 745. (325 vs 438). Then, AMG/MB upped the ante (in Europe) and built the nut-house qualifying CL63 and S63 vehicles, sporting 612 HP each.
I haven't driven a 645 yet, but with the same engine in a more aerodynamic package, it should be quicker... Should be...
Anyway, congrats on the CLS, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I just checked the online dictionary. Astute is in there. Sorry, can't help you out.
