cls550
Hello. I am new to this forum and a band new benz owner ( 2106 cls550). I have been a bmw lifer and still own a 650i convertible. I was about to pull the trigger on a 2017 but I bought a 2016 cls 550 with 600 miles on it (designo diamond white metallic and black interior with anthracite leather fully loaded) for 15k under msrp, winter tires thrown in , my last months lease payment paid by dealer , and winter mats. Think i scored a great deal. Miles were put on from test drives at the dealership. Gotta love a motivated dealer in December! Cannot wait to pick it up and join the MB family!!!!

Congrats, you will love the CLS550. I had a few BMW before my CLS and wonder why I waited so long.

2014 E550 cabriolet and 2017 CLS 550

The CLS400 is pretty weak. The V6 is a decent engine, but just does not have the umph of the 4.7l V8.

The big worry is that the 2018 CLS (if there is one) will likely NOT have a V-8 version. It will probably have the current V6 or the new I6 coming out soon.
CLS400 discontinued in 2017? Edmunds is showing it coming out for 2017 with the only change over the '16 being the 9 speed transmission. Hmmm...

I don't think you will find a 2017 CLS 400, only the 2016 model. The MB website shows this car as a 2016. For 2018 the CLS will be refreshed, most notably the interior to bring it up to at least current E class standards. I do not know if the 278 V8 bi-turbo engine will remain or if displacement will be lowered to V6, which is the major difference between the 400 and 550. That is one reason why I bought the 2017 CLS 550. Another reason was the updated 9 speed transmission (the 400 had a seven speed).

I also want to point out that when you click on the Edmunds build and price it does not show the 400, only the 550 and AMG model.
