Have at least 6 colleagues who each own both CL63 030/65 and SL63 030

Serious, lemon-worthy reliability and daily-driveability (jerkiness vs cold (by CA stds) or steep hills) issues of MCT

Nearly every SL63 owner I know wants to dump it for '10 SL65 and/or '10 CL65 but AMG has stopped production of new AMG SLs (poor sales); may re-start produc in late Fall...or may switch to SLS production, who knows?

Aside from MCT, awful brake pedal feel vs AMG CL; primitive sport seats vs AMG CL (esp lacks deep side bolsters)

Ancient comfort tech (and interior materials) vs CL....hassles like lack of rt mirror tilt down on reversing; inept ventil/massaging func of seats, etc....SL interior (and exterior Parktronic bulletholes, sat radio lump) are vintage '02 tech/cheap plastics (e.g., buttons, switches, door pulls, etc)
