2006 CLS55 AMG Barelo/Java
Cool Just signed for a new. .

CLS 55 AMG!

So it was finally decided that the M5, and the Quattroporte were not as eye popping as the CLS55!!

Options:
Laurel Wood
Ashtray (although I hope it wont replace a cupholder or something like that)
Park-tronic
Harmon Kardon
Command
Car Cover
Blue Illuminated Door sills (Mercedes-Benz)
Barolo Red/Java

Now its all about waiting out till May for the car!!

We did not to opt for the Designo options, since everyone including the dealer was advising against it. PLUS, I have yet to see the Desgino packages available in Canada. . . maybe I might pop in and DEMAND to see them.

If anyone has pics of the AMG Nappa Java interior that would be great!! Also if there are any Barelo CLS pics out there good enough for a desktop wallpaper.

The next for months are gonna be long!!! I had to wait 9 months for my C32, this was before AMG had their factory renovations

Congrats! That's a sharp color combo and it would really make the car stand out.

Here's a pic you might like...



Or maybe someone can start with a better picture and photoshop the car red?

Thumbs up

I didnt actually get a chance to drive any of them. The soonest the BMW Canada was able to find me an M5 to drive was in Jan 06, even then it wasnt sure whether that would be a test drive.

The Maserati dealer in Toronto contacted me, but what was it 342 hp in the Quarttroporte compared to 469hp in the CLS55, made me think twice about whether it was worth it.

Roupin thanks for the pic! But believe it or not that is actually bordeux red, and not the newer Barolo red. I actually prefer the Bordeux red.

I am still trying to find a Java Nappa AMG interior pic!! I don't know why its so hard, or maybe I have yet to master google.

thanks

Why not buy a CLS63 instead? I mean, if you're not getting it until May, the CLS63 could only be a couple of months away (from May).

Didn't even think of the CLS63. I'm sure the price would be more aswell.

BUT, you gotta love that V8 Kompressor on the side of the car!!

Thanks for the interior pics!!

I don't know how I am going to wait 4 months for the car!!! Well, I cant really drive it in the winter, but I'd still love to see it in my garage.

That blueish colour on that interior pic. What is it called? I love that colour too.
I hope it isnt Capri Blue
