Just wondering if anyone has a order on a CLS500 or CLS55? I'm Going to surprise the soon to be wife with one for a wedding present sssshhh

Going to put deposit on it for sure.

 

Very nice, Kev. Now I have to figure out how to keep Michelle from seeing this site! Couldn't you buy her a Hyundai or something? I think they come in black.

 

The CLS55 is where the money is at, The Brabus CLS thats out now the one in there California showroom is just a CLS350 with different wheels and a bodykit. Several MB forums members where there and brabus wasnt to happy when they tried to open the hood to see if it was a 55.

The CLS is no doubt the sexiest benz out now espacially the CLS55.

It will look sick in Black with grey interior

 

I'm getting the CLS 55.

Fletcher Jones tried to get my deposit, but I'm waiting until summer for the price to settle. They'll be asking higher than retail for 6 months at least and March is the target date.

 

Kevin, if it was for you I would get the CLS55 but for her, just get the CLS500 with the AMG kit.

Great choice for a present!!! Let me guess, Black ;-)

 

To funny Chris... I already emailed Michelle this link


I agree Fred, I'm thinking after a year or so and a child she may want the Cayenne so I have to think ahead aren't I selfish

 

I love the CLS!!
Anyone know the US MSRP on em (loaded, both 500 sport and 55)?
It not on mbusa.com yet....

 

MSRP for CLS500 $65k range not loaded
CL55 $80-$85K range

Here is the Interactive Owners Manual

 

My uncle is going to pick one up...

 

I like the car but I am off Mercedes cars for a while. Too many problems. I have owned MB cars since the 70s and now I think they are a POS.

 

Hey, I can see where Porsche got rid of all there 99-01 headlights!

More seriously, that is a beautiful car. But I think the wheels and ride height make a huge difference to its appearance. Don't particularly care for the wheels in the last picture though.

 

I may hold off on one of these too if the following is going to be true. I found this on the bmwm5 forum and someone posted these numbers from another forum which he did not mention.

C55 367hp replace-> C60 420hp V8 NA and C63 520hp V8 NA

CLK55 retained + CLK63 520hp V8 NA

E55 467hp replace-> E63 530hp V8 NA

SLK55 360hp replace-> SLK60 420hp V8 NA + SLK63 420hp V8 NA

Current S65 + S63 (new) 530-550hp

CLS55 -> replace-> CLS63 520-550hp
+ new CLS65 ( with Biturbo engine share with S65 ) 700hp

CL55 replace-> CL63 V8 NA + current CL65 700hp V12 TT

SL55 replace-> SL63 V8 NA + the will be a current SL65 700Hp V12 TT

ML55 347hp replace-> new M-Class ML60 420hp 6 litre V8 NA
