lol i have said long ago that the w212 interior is nothing, both the f10 and 4gs are steps above it (but most people will only focus on that i said 4gs doesn't look good on exterior). if anything, w211 e55/63 interior feels nicer, especially with the suede headliner.

for the price of a new cl63, you can get 2 c63 and probably still some change

Yes I just saw a fully loaded 2012 CL63 in the showroom with a MSRP of $179k

You can almost get 3 C63 for 1 CL63!

The interior quality and material is one of the biggest contributor to the difference in price between the C and CL, where the CL looks like a Bentley inside, the C looks like an Accord.

I know, I was a GTR people

That is because the C63 "looks" and "feels" 3 times cheaper.

One of five Veyron SS World Record Edition, nice.

The One-77 is huge!

The first row alone is like what, $10 million? Out of all of those, I'd probably take the Koenigsegg. One thing I do agree with you on, is that the One-77 is like a boat compared to all the other cars in the front row also.

They worth roughly $10 million USD today if you buy them in the U.S. Don't forget Hong Kong or China have 100% vehicle registation tax if they pay them officially. But if you own one of those cars there, you are pretty much government official. So I would imagine none of them actually pay the sales tax, let alone the car itself.

I won't be surprise they are bought as "company car" with the government's money.

You can't possibly make it sicker, the only one missing is the Mclaren F1, but that's old. Looks like they just care about the newest offerings.
