2012 CLS
Sold the 2011 CLS and collected 2015 - pictures
Yesterday was sad to see the C218 CLS 350 Sport AMG go, but just love the new facelift which has replaced it.
Here in the UK we have a 350 V6 Diesel. I love the value of a V8 like anyone else and have a 65 Mustang - but here gas is too expensive and you know what, these diesel are awesome with power and especially torque. Yesterday the cross country ride home was 125 miles and we did 43mpg ! Extraordinary!
Anyway - the face lift
9G Gearbox and the most extraordinary all LED intelligent light system that the US does not get - truly amazing option.
Here are some pictures
Interior is Porcelain Leather
Premium Plus which in UK includes keyless go, memory seats et, sunroof, and Harmon Kardon
Airmatic
Privacy glass
Headlights on you tube
(The Mustang
)
In the garage
Collecting from the port and driving 125 miles home

Are the new headlights the same shape as the prefacelift headlights? If so how easy/difficult would it be to swap?
I imagine the new headlamps with all the added tech would cost an arm & a leg but I'm curious to know...

imminently...CLS 350 AMG Line
Looks great
I have just joined up, and have a very similar car on order - due to arrive at dealer on December 4th, collecting a couple of days later...
I went for the CLS 350 AMG Line also, with Premium Plus, black Passion leather with red stitching, 360 camera and speed/traffic assist thingy, all wrapped up in Palladium.
Coming over to MB from Jaguar, having spent recent times in a lovely XF S. Very excited, most expensive car I have ever bought and never factory ordered before.
@OP I love the wheels you have there, but didn't see any options when I configured mine? Quite happy with the 'standard' ones, but curious

I must confess that getting brochure/online info was pretty hard for the facelift model!
My car has arrived in the UK, at a port around 10 mile from the dealer! So hopefully won't be too long before ready.
