You can view and build the restyled 2010 S550 (and CL550) on MBUSA.com. The base price is now $91.6K.

It looks so nice online. I really like the new rear end and all the LED's on the front. I'm not sure why they are still listing the CL? They published a press release saying that it was going to renamed the S550/S600 coupe for 2010. That is strange.

I thought I read that the transition from CL to S coupe will be in 2011 when they add similar horizontal LEDs below bumper and give the coupe a more substantial exterior make-over than just new mirrors.

Not a great photo (taken with iPhone), but here is one at the SF Mercedes store.

and of the rear tail lamps.

I sat in the rear and it appears that they have raised the seat cushion a la "stadium seating". Unlike my 2007 the seat bottom feels slightly higher and not so sunken in.

Wow, they got the car early. They were scheduled to hit dealers next month. I like it. The new rear lights are so much better.

Any full car pictures or interior shots?

May go back tomorrow if I do not head down to Monterey for the Concours d'Elegance. MB has a tent and may have the new 2010's on display.
