New AMG IWC Speedo font?

I sat in the AMG IWC CLS55 the other day & noticed that they have used the same font as the IWC Ing watch... IMHO I thought it gave it that extra touch...
No the dealer mentioned that this is for the limited edition only.

Whilst discussing this on a watch forum - as I also collect watchs - it was discussed that all the new AMG's will have the same font treatment.

Here's the link

Can eanyone confirm this - as I would prefer to wait the extra 8 months for a new AMG etc.

Whilst I am here, has anyoned payed the extra to get 1 of the 55 limited edtion?

White gauges look much nicer, particularly with the piano black lacquer trim They also look great at night with their backlighting.

While it might be debated if the 6.3 is a step backward from the supercharged 5.5 motor, there seems to be no doubt that the "new" black guages are clearly an example of how Mercedes can take a step backword.

I bought one about two months ago. It still has less than 200 miles on it.
The interior is very very nice.
It cost me US$260,000 including taxes and registration in South Korea.
What a ripoff!!

The regular CLS55(full option versions)only sold here cost US$200,000.
I said that because the price of imported cars are ridiculus.
