need good interior pics
I need to see really good pics of the two different wood options for the CLS55.
I am under the assumption that the Burl Walnut is darker than the High gloss wood.
Please help.

In fact the Burl Walnut is lighter than the High Gloss Laurel wood. The Laurel is a VERY dark brown and the Burl Walnut is more of a redish brown to the wood. In my opinion the High Gloss Laurel wood looks great with the ash interior. I don't like the Laurel with the black interior. The Burl Walnut looks far richer to me.
The new Designo package comes with a piano black wood which should look killer!! I'm not shure about the color of the rest of the interior in the Designo pkg though.
Sorry, I don't have any pics I can post..

Those pics aren't helping me.....can't see the color of the wood.
I said to my dealer that I wanted the darkest wood....he said Burl walnut was what I wanted. I am getting black exterior and Charcoal interior. What wood should I get. I figured the darkest would look the best. I tried looking at the online brochure...all the wood pics were of the Burl Walnut. That looks dark to me. Help!!!!!

sorry man thats all i have on the comp right now.
but i would have to say that from the different wood trims that i was able to choose from (excluding designo stuff) the high gloss laurel is the darkest. at least u can tell how dark it is from the pic.
try doing a search in this forum or the other cls forum. if u still have no luck let ma know and i can take some more pics and post them later on.

I feel comfortable now that the Burl Wood is dark enough.
I heard people on the board and my dealer say that the high gloss looks cheap...almost like plastic.
Of course I have never seen it so I'm only going by what I've heard.
No offense intended.

Found a pic of the matte Burl Walnut wood I took while at the dealership.. I've been wondering why they don't offer this wood in a gloss finish like they do on the rest of the cars.. Seems kinda strange.
Hope this helps..
