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.
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 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
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 TH-cam 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.
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!!
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...!
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.
I look forward to Bill’s car review videos more than ANY other automotive TH-cam 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 !
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.
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 ...
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.
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.😅
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
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 👨🏽🍳
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.
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.
I’m one of the ones who thoroughly enjoy the German cars. That’s how I originally found you, your older bmw and benz videos. I also share your sentiment about having intoxicants in my system to deal with society.
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.
Will you please do a full tour and review of Michelle Pfeiffer for your next video? We all need to see her trunk, hear her engine rev, and know how she rides.
I'm getting a feeling these reviews are starting to be a cry for help!!!!!! Bill, you are so very entertaining and a such wealth of automobile industry knowledge, keep up the great work Please!
Man, you really make me have a good laugh when you reach to the description of the truck storage area and mention the automatic weapon carry capabilities of the CL for a friendly state trooper encounter in the near future. Man, you make my day!
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 love the videos and rambling, don’t change a thing. That Naples summer is brutal. I spent two weeks in family members condo in late July. My ex from Sicily was with me. Heat/humidity didn’t bother her. She wanted to go to beach everyday, my answer was always FU and that beach. It was a 2 week long domestic. I’ve been in Mexico (115 degs), southern Italy, southern France, islands-St Martin etc. in summer. All hot as balls but Naples was the worst. I debated about buying a 14 E350 but couldn’t afford upkeep. My Toyota Camry is boring as hell but reliable.
Who needs to hear about the car ? We already know everything about it anyway! Listening to you rant and moan makes me feel like I have it soooo good !😂🎉❤
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

Me too.

Bill - THE best car reviewer on TH-cam… bar none!!
A link to a 90 minutes "Director's Cut" would be nice.
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.

I don't car what he is reviewing. When Bill posts a video, I am watching!
Amen!
Same here!
Said it before, will say it again!! This Guy Should Have His Own Talk Show!! Peace From London. 🙋🙋🙋

Yeah I've seen comments like he rambles on and complains.....yeah that's why we're here! And in between he goes over the history of the car. Love it.👍

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.
😂😂😂 I’m less than 2 minutes in & I love this guy.
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%
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 Michelle Pfeiffer bit sent me into respiratory failure..thanx I needed that..
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
Best review yet, particularly loved the Michelle Pfeiffer diatribe.
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...!

Blessed the day when few years ago i find Bill. This reviews. You cant beat them. All the best mate, keep going!
The rambling keeps you engaged. Very Zen review. Thanks!
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 can’t believe you chased the armadillo down for us! I’m glad you ended up catching him on film
We prefer longer 60 mins reviews. Great job.
Please don’t shorten the videos, we love the long videos!!! Thanks Bill
You’re so funny. I can listen to this without watching the video 😂
I can’t think of a better way to spend 47 minutes of my day! Thanks Bill!
Watching porn...
Covid whiskey and your rambling help make a good day. Watch out for those annoying birds.
Love love this car! Also love how your dark humor makes me laugh after a long day thank you Bill!!
Don't ever shorten your vids Bill, their perfectly timed for me to finish my 40oz Coronavirus Budweiser. Another epic review as always!
He is quick review went right out the window and I’m just happy with that
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.😅
More yank tanks!!! As a european I find them fascinating, love learning about them and their companies
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.

I don’t care how long the video is I watch it start to finish every time everyone
Honestly one of the best car review channels on TH-cam to this day🙌🏽!! I swear Bill has a gift
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.
Still my dream coupe, doing everything I can to own this someday
There’s one here for sale, $22k
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.

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
I forwarded this to a few friends. Absolutely love this channel 👍👍👍
I would rather listen to Bill talk for 40 minutes than Doug for 20 minutes
40ish minute reviews are perfect for passing my time quickly at work! Dont shorten them!
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.
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.

You're little tyrade about electric cars was perfect .I'm w/ you on all that.
This is the first cl review to actually show the “mood lighting” in the older and you can change it too. Really cool.
OMG, this was the best review I've watched on TH-cam, love the commentary. Thoroughly entertained!
These productions are A+, and it's a great way to unwind after work with a cocktail. Maybe go to a parking lot, find the worst car, and mock it.
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?

Brother Bill. I like your winning. It’s your personality unique and genuine. I love you.
Bill is a old skool G. i bought a W140 Mercedes based on his review. dont ever stop talking.
"...I just wanna live in a friggin cabin somewhere in the wilderness...." hahahaha ! I hear 'ya brother !
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 😂
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!
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!
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.
When he said making soup out of catch-up and water I damn near lost it

You crack me up, Bill. Thank you for the history, depth, and useful info.

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.
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!
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
Will you please do a full tour and review of Michelle Pfeiffer for your next video? We all need to see her trunk, hear her engine rev, and know how she rides.
I'm getting a feeling these reviews are starting to be a cry for help!!!!!! Bill, you are so very entertaining and a such wealth of automobile industry knowledge, keep up the great work Please!
Completely agree. I still run my 2003 CL500. And that's one of a stable of six. A quite perfect car.
Keep up the rambling videos, much the most entertaining than the usual reviews!
Plus the cars are more curious and interesting.
Thanks for laughs Bill. Certainly welcomed on a Friday afternoon.
Man, you really make me have a good laugh when you reach to the description of the truck storage area and mention the automatic weapon carry capabilities of the CL for a friendly state trooper encounter in the near future. Man, you make my day!
Bill plz-the longer the reviews the better!!! You are the very very best!! Beautiful beautiful CL!!!
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 ..,
2011 CL500 is superb
Hello Bill. I’m watching this in England and I must say you’re hilarious! Just the medicine for these dark times.
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 love the videos and rambling, don’t change a thing. That Naples summer is brutal. I spent two weeks in family members condo in late July. My ex from Sicily was with me. Heat/humidity didn’t bother her. She wanted to go to beach everyday, my answer was always FU and that beach. It was a 2 week long domestic.
I’ve been in Mexico (115 degs), southern Italy, southern France, islands-St Martin etc. in summer. All hot as balls but Naples was the worst.
I debated about buying a 14 E350 but couldn’t afford upkeep. My Toyota Camry is boring as hell but reliable.
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
Who needs to hear about the car ? We already know everything about it anyway! Listening to you rant and moan makes me feel like I have it soooo good !😂🎉❤
I don’t mind your rambling on. In fact, I enjoy ALL your videos. Thank you!
Thank you for the Michelle can't spell the last name photos ❤
Maybe it's my own bottle(s) of Red Breast 12, but I like all the rambling, Bill.
This gentleman is a) very intelligent and b) incredibly funny with an excellent sense of humour
Pure gold!
