thanks everyone for the leads.

I have called into several places but not placed an order yet. I got one broker i'm dealing with right now.

I was told that the first batch won't be available till late spring/summer! - bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone told me to look at the new Maserati GTcoupe! Anyone have thoughts?

You crazy *** ****. I don't know how much the CL63s are, but it being an an "big" AMG car. I'm going to guess north of 110K. A used Bentley GT is in that ballpark I think. That kit you were eyeing at Concorso would be o-so-sweet.

I have dibbs on the Orange car/truck/car/truck/whatever ...

if room in the garage has to be made.

not sure how you feel about BMW, but consider 2008 M6 (CL alternative) or B7 alpina (if you need a four door monster)

Why a 2008 M6? Is there a body change?

CL will be the right car for u if u're thinking about using it as DD. new Maserati is nice looking but i can't imagine a Italian DD. not to mention u'll get all the toys & features in CL. if u at the overall value that big Mercedes offers, both S & CL, it's not a bad deal. both CL63 & S63 will be safe in first few month if u can get the first batch. i'll pass if i can't get my hands on the 1st ones.

i dont think so. 5er is getting a body change (regular 5er is getting M5 looking front, lots of leather and other changes for the interior, new sport pkg with sport exhaust and suspension and other goodies AND they are starting to build 2008 5er in march). 2008 M5 will inherit a lot of interior 5er changes. i think 6er and M6 2008 model year will start at the end of 2007 as planned.

i think getting 2008 550i with sport pkg and doing some dinan stuff to it would be awesome.

fred: if you want a convertible, M6 cab is awesome!!!

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions.

Like Kirby said, I'm even more confused right now. What's new!

If I got the CL63 or other DD, I most likely would get rid of my RR SC vesuvious. I just can't justify having 3 cars. I have 2 little dogs and do like to go to tahoe and might buy a boat this year.

So I would have a tough time wanting to get rid of the SUV.

I was now thinking of getting the new CTT and trade my RR, but the CTT will be a dime a dozen. My Orange RR is very unique with only 300 in the world made and it's a head turner. I get so many compliments on it so that's kind of cool you know. Plus you cannot find these cars anywhere. Well maybe that would be a good time to sell it and make some profit?

I'm soo confused guys!!

On my mind today is the GT3RS! I want one!

Don`t trade the RR for a new CTT. Buy a SL65 (orSL55) AMG for the summer. Ok the GT3RS is very hot. But it is very difficult to find an one in the USA.
