If a full-size, fast four-seat coupe loaded with the latest intelligent gadgetry fit for a microchip tycoon turns you on, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL550 heads the list. You’ll like the big solid sedan feel from behind the wheel (it’s based on a modified S-Class sedan platform), and safety improvements include automatically closing the windows and sunroof if the sensors detect an impending rollover.
If you’re not much of a reader the 700-page owner’s manual offers a daunting prospect. The Cockpit Management and Data System (COMAND), which controls navigation, audio, telephone, seat massage, suspension and other crucial settings, requires studying no less than 240-plus pages to decipher the different functions. An additional 175 pages discuss COMAND in more detail. Power window instructions occupy a full four pages.
