1. 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL550
Editors' rating: 9.3
The good: The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL550 combines stunning good looks, an advanced drive train and potent performance with one of the most luxurious cabins and some of the most innovative technologies available on any production car. Its Night View Assist and wonderfully programmable seats are particular favorites.
The bad: The lack of standard Bluetooth hands-free calling is very disappointing on a car of this price. Its active-seat bolstering can begin to feel a little rough on long, winding roads.
The bottom line: The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL550 represents the best that the German automaker has to offer. With a premium version of the COMAND system, adaptive cruise control, Night View assist and an arsenal of other performance and safety technologies, it very nearly justifies its six-figure price tag.
