the car reached Houston about 9:30am this morning and was taken to fill up on gas, have plastic removed from exterior and interior, state inspection, and a minor detail job. i'm lovin it! its almost a week late, but well worth the wait IMO.

Congratulations!!!

You were driving a 500 and now the 55??

Hang on to your shorts and don't hit the guy in front of you when you accelerate :)

Congrats! Your car is gorgeous. I'm jealous of the temp in Houston, by the way :) Happy driving.

I can't wait for my white CLS55 with 030 and Cashmere to come in a few weeks. Can you please take some more exterior pics?

Is that suede on the seats standard? that looks hot...

Congrats!! The CLS55 is just a piece of designing perfection!!!

Gorgeous car. Congrats!

thanks all. i really like this car. i was a BMW guy for the longest and only switched over to MB for the CLS' design. I needed a car with 4 doors for professional reasons because my e46 m3 just wasn't too accomodating. but i really missed the m3 after driving the CLS500 because it just lacked power and that throw back feeling whenever you were in the mood to gun down an open road. i think this car gives me the best of both worlds, and aside from the increase in power, the little AMG related changes are much welcomed. although i haven't really gotten on it too hard yet, i can tell it just wants to go. i cant wait to turn off traction and break it loose a bit. this car has a lot more in terms of features such as the suede headliner and pulsating seats. i have no clue if those are standard options, however.

the only thing i wish it had was the trim package...that was an elegant touch on my 500.

Yes, that's standard on the AMG (as well as the Alcantara-Headliner)...

Congratulations from my side as well...Mine will probably be a mid-January delivery so I have to keep on waiting...
