ForbesAutos reviewed the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and gave out”The engine is well-matched by the tremendous seven-speed automatic transmission, which shifts quickly and almost imperceptibly. The transmission is managed through a small stalk on the steering wheel that’s a bit awkward, but it does free up space on the center console.”
