CLS 55 AMG!

So it was finally decided that the M5, and the Quattroporte were not as eye popping as the CLS55!!

Options:
Laurel Wood
Ashtray (although I hope it wont replace a cupholder or something like that)
Park-tronic
Harmon Kardon
Command
Car Cover
Blue Illuminated Door sills (Mercedes-Benz)
Barolo Red/Java

Now its all about waiting out till May for the car!!

We did not to opt for the Designo options, since everyone including the dealer was advising against it. PLUS, I have yet to see the Desgino packages available in Canada. . . maybe I might pop in and DEMAND to see them.

If anyone has pics of the AMG Nappa Java interior that would be great!! Also if there are any Barelo CLS pics out there good enough for a desktop wallpaper.

The next for months are gonna be long!!! I had to wait 9 months for my C32, this was before AMG had their factory renovations.[:)]

sounds like a very cool car. Best of luck when you get it.Did you take advantage of the European Delivery Program? It is very cool. You get to tour the factory, and drive around your car around Germany.

Yeah I wish I had the time for the Euro delivery again.

I did something similar to that when I purchased my 03 C32.

I still have the pics, but have been to lazy to scan them in. I almost got my camera taken away by th AMG security! I managed to get pics of the garage, back when it was only a small garage.

do they allow you to bring cameras and video cameras in, or is it prohibited? You really should post those pics emcstd. They are probably really cool. I really want to see what it looks like.

Awesome car, once you have done the proper break in, 1000 miles usually, be sure to disengage ESP, goto Sport II Airmatic suspension and have some fun [:D]

haha. yes. the only thing is that he can't completely disengage the ESP, because mercedes makes it so you can't completely turn off the traction control. But definately. You have got to have some fun with that CLS.
