Burgundy CLS55 in NW CT

[Fulcrum525]

I saw my first ever CLS 55AMG today and I foolishly tried to keep up with it on the back roads of NW connecticut[:p] I manged to keep it in sight and its true what they say, its beautiful from every angle, even behind[:D] If anyone was wondering why some old W126 was trying to keep up with you, it was all just in good fun.[8D]

yea. Was it a bright Burgundy, or a Darker Burgundy, cuz they have tow burgundy offered on the CLS.

bright burgundy - Bordeaux Red
dark burgundy - Barolo Red

[Fulcrum525]

It looked like Barolo Red. I made particular note of it since it was on its way to being the same color as my car[8D]

[1996_S500]

yea. the first pic is a w221 in Barolo Red, and the second pic is of a CLS in Bordeaux red. It is kinda hard to tell though.

Sounds like my car but it was not me. I live on the shoreline.

hmmm. I guess someone on the website did something wrong. I have the brochure for the US right here, and they offer Bordeaux Red AND Barolo Red on the CLS. It must be a special order or something, but whatever the case, it comes in both Bordeaux Red and Barolo Red.

I will scan over the Last page.

The Bordeaux red is not available any longer and has not been for months. When I ordered my car back in july or august it was not available.
