2006 CLS55 AMG
My New CLS55

I just received my new CLS55 in iridium silver and charcoal. This car is absolutely gorgeous. The only problem with it is that it attracts so much attention. People seem to stop dead in their tracks and stare at it. I find the car to be more comfortable riding than my 03 E55 and the handling is markedly improved.

Nice, Thank you very much! Now I got an idea what I'll get (as you can see, I ordered black piano as well.. ).

Are your seats designo as well? If you order designo in the States, you get the complete package but you only have two choices. In Europe, I think, you can pick single designo items like paint, headliner, wood, seat surface (with or without door inserts) instead of chosing a complete package...

Very nice! I like the contrast between the light interior and the black wood. Everybody is going to look at your wood first. As I said, we don't have the choice what we get with the piano wood so it will be a dark/charcoal interior (Alcantara headliner and consoles etc.) so the wood will match but there won't be a contrast to the surrounding areas. I do love the very light porcelain seat surface and door-insert. That will be a great contrast to the dark wood and trim. I also haven't seen a designo Graphite Gray CLS yet. Will be interesting...

Thank you once again for your nice pics and enjoy your great car!

Thanks!

Thank you! Those pictures look very good for cell-pictures, especially in this size..
The day you picked up the car must have been something special for you, right (did you sleep well the night before..??).... :p

I can hardly wait until I get mine, my first Mercedes AND my first AMG....
