Especially in this particular video where he inserts the night vision demo, also ends up telling us a little story about a movie with Jackie Chan within a story he's already telling... Billception (Bill's version of inception) my friend :)
I swear Bill deserve an award for the car review king..the funny moments are the best..the angry American rants👌..literally the best..I've actually bought my 09 W211 e class with the AMG sport package based on his review of that car..now I'm on my second one
He's venting his general frustration in every little detail, it's refreshing and comes across as genuine and truthful, and if most don't do it, they will secretly agree with him. As for the car I found the W215 more select, the new model is beautiful but more "in line" with those newer models that are already too much in my view. The understated Class of the old CL is special, a kind of chemistry you only get in 1 out or 100 models across manufacturers, maybe? And that is very probably because I owe one. I think in automotive in general, there is a point when the electronic became too much, and this specific 2000-2006 has the best of both worlds, all the amenities but it's not like they build a car around an Alienware rig.
It's like listening to your grandpa tell a story (at least I think so, I haven't met my grandparents), it kinda comforting, just a bunch of commentary which may or may not be on-topic but at least you know it's 100% genuine.
Please don’t ever shut the hell up- I love everything from the “Good morning”, to the weather report, to the random historical factoids. And for the love of God please give us a review on the 6x6!!!
Nice video. Even though the maintenance costs can be high I still feel the CL / S Class Coupe is probably the best luxury coupe for what it costs used or even new. That pillar-less window design is priceless. The 2007 - 2013 model still looks modern.
I have showed 3 of my male friends your channel yesterday. We are planning a road trip to Autohaus of Naples in October 2021. Each of us are in the market for American cars like the Imperial, Buick GS, Pontiac Grand Prix or Ford Thunderbird. My buddies are equally impressed with your skill at reviewing cars.
Bill I love knowing about the Florida weather and everything you talk about , even getting annoyed by the birds , I find it hilarious and watch all the videos not only because I think the cars are cool but your personality too so dont change anything my friend !! I HOPE YOU SEE THIS
Please ramble!!! We love it and the longer the better! Your historical references and talk about relevant models and competition are fantastic as well! Cheers!!
The 2012 MBZ CL 550 is absolutely gorgeous to me. You have great taste in automobiles, at any generation, Bill. You are the most comprehensive automotive review person on RUclips today, in my opinion. I discovered your channel just a week ago. I spend hours everyday watching and listening. You have put the "realist" back in my descriptions of people. Please be safe (read carry a .45) and keep up the excellent work.
Bill’s the kind of guy that’ll remember everything about an obscure Mercedes but forget to shut off his phone before the camera starts rolling. Every. Single. Time.
I look forward to Bill’s car review videos more than ANY other automotive RUclips channel I sub to. That is saying something so please keep up the reviews in your awesome style Bill! I don’t mind one bit that they’re 40-45 minutes! The longer the better!!!! You rock Bill !
I tend to listen to all the ramblings (a history lesson for me as I was born in 83) and fast forward through the driving portion. I enjoy listening to you talk… 💪🏾❤️
Bill we love all your comments, goats, birds, numbnuts, etc., it's what keeps up coming back as well as your history/research on the vehicle being presented. Without one another the Curious Cars would not be the same.
Don't change a thing ... I enjoy all of your commentary. You make things fun and never cease to make me laugh. Laughter is more precious than ever in these times ...
Ive gotten into a sort of addiction into watching his videos all week lol. Amusing, educational and informative. He should absolutely have his own show on TV, good stuff...!
What a great car, my 2008-S550 is almost the same except the night vision-What a BEAR to keep on the road -electrical break downs, tires, breaks,etc... still looks great after 15yrs
Bill I look forward to your side notes first and foremost to the review. You are a gas!! Keep it real and be yourself that's why I'm drawn to your reviews. If I lived in Florida I would definitely come by and buy a car from you and hopefully you would humor me with your dynamic personality of a true Floridian:) Thanks for the laughs and info.😅
Found this channel about a week ago.It is awesome and so is Bill. He has reviewed just about all the vehicles I have owned or grew up with. Also love the Naples weather report lol.If I ever go to Naples I will tune into this channel for the weather report.
I drive a 4Matic S-Class but 95% of the time I'm by myself. I think this CL550 should be my next car. Gorgeous and comfortable. Thanks for the humorous review.
If and when you ever get it under 40 minutes I’ll be sorely disappointed. I live for the first 20 minutes of crazy banter! Keep doing what you’re doin Bill.
Your take on electric cars is on spot! I have never seen a legit claim that proves electric cars have a truely lower carbon or environmental footprint than gas cars. Great video!
Magnificent, majestical, miraculous Mercedes. These are my favorite for which Bill's expertise flows profusely. Perhaps next time we'll get another V12 from Stuttgart's best.
After you boil some weiners, you put the water in the fridge. Later, you skim the fat off the top to spread on your toast. Next day, you can heat up the water and enjoy a tasty bowl of weiner-water soup 👨🏽🍳
I would never jump ahead in Bill's review. I enjoy the curmudgeonly commentary on the weather, the people in his life, and the state of the world combined with the latest in vicious wildlife sightings. Then, and only then, is it time to get into the history of the manufacturer and then onto talking specifics about the car.
Thanks, Bill another epic car review and this one is one of my all time favorite cars, one of my clients only drove this Mercedes model, long live the Scrap Metal King! Holy humidity!
Anyone who is turned off by the rants, etc is in the wrong place! That's at least 50% of the reason why we're here! I laugh harder from these vids than I do from actual "comedians" & also get a fix on some of my favorite cars like this chassis.
Your COVID whiskey rambling is just fine Bill. Lots of interesting facts. Yes it probably would help some people to include a time in the description or pinned comment to the hands on car review. But personally I will almost always tune in for the weather report and how the birds are plotting an attack.
As a person that used to own CL63 6.2N/A and now owns S63 Coupe M157, I can only agree that the CL felt more special and expensive. The S Coupe does not have that charisma anymore.
It's something about the feeling of opening the door. Even closing it. Doesn't feel the same. The door handle on the inside doesn't feel the same either. However the S Coupe does have a beautiful interior. If you went from one to the other most all the switches are in the same place. Going from the C215 to this one here was totally different.
The long reviews are awesome it makes you unique raving about the weather plus the good auto history plus the complaining it’s your style don’t change it. It sets you apart.
Out of curiosity I looked back at some of your old videos. 12 to 15 minutes! The Corona whiskey has gotten to you! Maybe it's self therapy but I can't stop watching.
I had to subscribe. These reviews are amazing! Humorous but there's truth. I've owned an audi a8L and I giggled at some of the comments on the usage of the interior compartments. I definitely used it for some of those things
I just started watching ya channel n u have a new sub brother you are very descriptive n freaking hilarious with ya atlibs 😂😂😂 car pulling in a tpee tho😂😂😂
These 'fairly short' 40mins+ reviews are really enjoyable. No need to shorten them lol
Especially in this particular video where he inserts the night vision demo, also ends up telling us a little story about a movie with Jackie Chan within a story he's already telling... Billception (Bill's version of inception) my friend :)
The lack of goat encounters is sad though
I agree. Keep it up.
Please, Bill. For the love of God, do NOT stop the rambling!! We love it!!!
I absolutely adore your rambling Bill!
Ditto!
@@CaptainInsano-go6vo Absolutely; especially these days!!
I agree. I don't even watch these for the car but for your Flora and fauna reports. Hilarious!!!
He’s a bit obnoxious “
47 minute "short review". Love you Bill.
Almost a 48 minute video. Just 18 seconds shy lol
We’re going to crack the 60 minute mark by year’s end
He's "gonna make it a quick one...."
I swear Bill deserve an award for the car review king..the funny moments are the best..the angry American rants👌..literally the best..I've actually bought my 09 W211 e class with the AMG sport package based on his review of that car..now I'm on my second one

Bill - THE best car reviewer on RUclips… bar none!!
"Some people are just a little bit luckier in life, and I do resent them"
I didn't need a new motto, but I sure found one
😂😂😂
Me too.
👍
@@rudolphguarnacci197 ..
Priceless
He casually opens the door when driving to show that it lights up 😂 . Keep up the great work!
I don't car what he is reviewing. When Bill posts a video, I am watching!
Amen!
Same here!
Please don’t ever shut the hell up- I love everything from the “Good morning”, to the weather report, to the random historical factoids. And for the love of God please give us a review on the 6x6!!!
^need that 6x6 review
^and keep it going Bill!
Nice video. Even though the maintenance costs can be high I still feel the CL / S Class Coupe is probably the best luxury coupe for what it costs used or even new. That pillar-less window design is priceless. The 2007 - 2013 model still looks modern.
Along with the E coupe, tbh any benz coupe with no b pillar
@@srtbuddah2504 It is nice, but I stick with the old model, for me it has a certain magic, something of a modern silver bullet.
A link to a 90 minutes "Director's Cut" would be nice.
It's been an incredible week for videos Bill, we absolutely appreciate the time and hard work.
Thanks, Paulie - I'll admit to being a little beat, but am definitely having fun.
I fully agree!
Absolutely. I always look for your comment too, Paulie.
What are us gonna do?
@@curiouscars9282 Don't let Tracy use the seat massage she might buy the car and break up with you.

IMO this is the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen big two door coupe with B pillar-less windows cannot be beat I want one
100%
😂😂😂 I’m less than 2 minutes in & I love this guy.
Bill’s the kind of guy that’ll remember everything about an obscure Mercedes but forget to shut off his phone before the camera starts rolling. Every. Single. Time.
Best review yet, particularly loved the Michelle Pfeiffer diatribe.

I Do as well, Bill's entertaining.
Said it before, will say it again!! This Guy Should Have His Own Talk Show!! Peace From London. 🙋🙋🙋
I tend to listen to all the ramblings (a history lesson for me as I was born in 83) and fast forward through the driving portion. I enjoy listening to you talk… 💪🏾❤️
I can’t think of a better way to spend 47 minutes of my day! Thanks Bill!
Watching porn...
Yes Bill is the King of car sales I rather look at the cars as he gives comments about everything including weather and wildlife in area.THANKS BILL
Blessed the day when few years ago i find Bill. This reviews. You cant beat them. All the best mate, keep going!
The Michelle Pfeiffer bit sent me into respiratory failure..thanx I needed that..
Love love this car! Also love how your dark humor makes me laugh after a long day thank you Bill!!
Please don’t shorten the videos, we love the long videos!!! Thanks Bill
Bill we love all your comments, goats, birds, numbnuts, etc., it's what keeps up coming back as well as your history/research on the vehicle being presented. Without one another the Curious Cars would not be the same.
Covid whiskey and your rambling help make a good day. Watch out for those annoying birds.
Don't change a thing ... I enjoy all of your commentary. You make things fun and never cease to make me laugh. Laughter is more precious than ever in these times ...
Still my dream coupe, doing everything I can to own this someday
There’s one here for sale, $22k
He is quick review went right out the window and I’m just happy with that
We prefer longer 60 mins reviews. Great job.
Ive gotten into a sort of addiction into watching his videos all week lol. Amusing, educational and informative. He should absolutely have his own show on TV, good stuff...!
The rambling keeps you engaged. Very Zen review. Thanks!
More yank tanks!!! As a european I find them fascinating, love learning about them and their companies
What a great car, my 2008-S550 is almost the same except the night vision-What a BEAR to keep on the road -electrical break downs, tires, breaks,etc... still looks great after 15yrs

48 mins of pure lols. Love seeing the yank tanks Bill. We dont see many in Australia. Dont shorten the videos perfect as they are. Love your work!
We need him to review a Commodore!
@@lawrencer6328 Hudson or Holden?
@@rpsmith2990 Holden of course
You’re so funny. I can listen to this without watching the video 😂
You keep your reviews as long as you like I really enjoy every vid there a high light abs joy to watch. 👍👍
I've never seen anyone complain about the length.

OMG, this was the best review I've watched on RUclips, love the commentary. Thoroughly entertained!
Don't ever shorten your vids Bill, their perfectly timed for me to finish my 40oz Coronavirus Budweiser. Another epic review as always!
If and when you ever get it under 40 minutes I’ll be sorely disappointed. I live for the first 20 minutes of crazy banter! Keep doing what you’re doin Bill.
I would rather listen to Bill talk for 40 minutes than Doug for 20 minutes
I forwarded this to a few friends. Absolutely love this channel 👍👍👍
Ramble on Bill. I always found your narrations humerus and enjoyable. Love the Michelle phiffer pics👀👌
I adore your irritancies with life or you have had a bad day but either way it's very endearing. Subbed
Your take on electric cars is on spot! I have never seen a legit claim that proves electric cars have a truely lower carbon or environmental footprint than gas cars. Great video!
"...I just wanna live in a friggin cabin somewhere in the wilderness...." hahahaha ! I hear 'ya brother !
Magnificent, majestical, miraculous Mercedes. These are my favorite for which Bill's expertise flows profusely. Perhaps next time we'll get another V12 from Stuttgart's best.
I don’t care how long the video is I watch it start to finish every time everyone
You're little tyrade about electric cars was perfect .I'm w/ you on all that.
keep it up Bill...its the colorful commentary that keeps me coming back... ;)
Finally a car worth watching
Is this the first video you've watched? This is nowhere near as interesting a subject car as any of the last...5?....cars that he reviewed.
@@doug6191 I have to agree... the products of a society in decline are far more interesting. :)
Hello Dan - I know I've been neglecting the Euro cars - but I'll have some more coming.
@@doug6191 no way, I love this channel. But enough rust buckets 🪣 haha
@@curiouscars9282 thanks!
I can’t believe you chased the armadillo down for us! I’m glad you ended up catching him on film
When he said making soup out of catch-up and water I damn near lost it

Brother Bill. I like your winning. It’s your personality unique and genuine. I love you.
Completely agree. I still run my 2003 CL500. And that's one of a stable of six. A quite perfect car.
Pure gold!
Friggen love this car. One of my favorites. THANKS BILL!
Hey some of us love your rants that’s what makes me watch it ASAP as new one comes out your awesome thanks for the knowledge 😂
2011 CL500 is superb
You crack me up, Bill. Thank you for the history, depth, and useful info.
Honestly one of the best car review channels on RUclips to this day🙌🏽!! I swear Bill has a gift
Thanks, Bill another epic car review and this one is one of my all time favorite cars, one of my clients only drove this Mercedes model, long live the Scrap Metal King! Holy humidity!
Always funny and still knowledgeable.
This video alone made me sub. Great info and the comedy is hilarious. Love the car and will be getting one shortly.
Congratulations for your Mercedes CL coupe
This is definitely for me. As much as i love bill and his video's on American cars,i started to watch this channel for my love of Mercedes.
Keep up the rambling videos, much the most entertaining than the usual reviews!
Plus the cars are more curious and interesting.
Anyone who is turned off by the rants, etc is in the wrong place! That's at least 50% of the reason why we're here! I laugh harder from these vids than I do from actual "comedians" & also get a fix on some of my favorite cars like this chassis.

Best review so far 👌 🔥 🔥
Night vision would be useful in the UK, trust me on that. The roads are not wide and straight like the US of A. Great video as always
I had CL 600 V12 , full loaded .. but never really need to use night vision tbh ..,
Best video ever Bill. I'm sold on getting one to add to my 44k miles 1988 560sl and my S Class. Love you brother, keep up the great work.
This is the first cl review to actually show the “mood lighting” in the older and you can change it too. Really cool.
The long reviews are awesome it makes you unique raving about the weather plus the good auto history plus the complaining it’s your style don’t change it. It sets you apart.
Out of curiosity I looked back at some of your old videos. 12 to 15 minutes! The Corona whiskey has gotten to you! Maybe it's self therapy but I can't stop watching.
Bill is a old skool G. i bought a W140 Mercedes based on his review. dont ever stop talking.
Dear Bill please don't change a thing your videos are great and strike a cord with me.
What the hell...! I've literally just arrived home in my (new to me) 07 CL600 and this is waiting in my feed? You're a legend Bill!
I had to subscribe. These reviews are amazing! Humorous but there's truth. I've owned an audi a8L and I giggled at some of the comments on the usage of the interior compartments. I definitely used it for some of those things
Bill plz-the longer the reviews the better!!! You are the very very best!! Beautiful beautiful CL!!!
Great review.. I just bought one for 90% less than the new price. Many thanks for sharing and don't shorten your videos, as they're enjoyable!
I just started watching ya channel n u have a new sub brother you are very descriptive n freaking hilarious with ya atlibs 😂😂😂 car pulling in a tpee tho😂😂😂
Bill will hit the 500k subs in 3 years if he’s liver is strong we all know it is. This car looks like a near late model Audi.
I was thinking the same thing, it's giving me New Audi TT vibes if it were a LandYacht
Thank you I enjoyed that love it
"I have an Iphone 10 and people want to take up canned food drives because I cant make ends meet" LMAO you are the best Bill never change
Thank you for keeping us entertained kind sir
Thanks for laughs Bill. Certainly welcomed on a Friday afternoon.
Your epic ramblings are the stuff of legend. Good job beating that 48 min extended time from the last video! You're improving lol!!
Thank you for the Michelle can't spell the last name photos ❤
I enjoy hearing the weather/goat/cat/bird status updates. Keep 'em coming!
