CLS63 Silver/charcoal, RRS S/C stornoway grey/ebony
Who is waiting for a CLS63?

Hello guys,
Just out of curiousity, how many of you guys are waiting for your CLS63 to arrive? What color combo and options did you get?
I have one on order ( iridium silver/charcoal P2, and parktronic) scheduled to arrive at the end of July, just can't wait for it to show up.

I am!

I have a CLS63 scheduled for European Delivery on 10/2. Irid Silver/charcoal and PP 2. My fiancee and I are going to use it for a two week honeymoon driving through Switzerland, France and Italy. We got lucky. CLS63's technically are not available for ED. But my dealer told MB that it was for our honeymoon and that this is their chance to convert a longtime BMW guy to MB, and they agreed. They even waived the 4 month advance notice requirement.

I still have no idea what the MSRP will be. The dealer told me that it was unlikely to be more than 1-2% over the CLS55 MSRP because they can't afford to get undercut by M5 pricing. I hope he is right because I passed up a $6,000 discount off MSRP on a CLS55. If the price differential is huge, I might be sorry I did not take the 55.

The car is going to be released very soon, hopefully this week. Some are already shipped and on their way to US ports.

Bill you will have a great time, we just picked our's up in May at the factory. Great to hear they are doing the ED for you. Are they giving your 7% off as well?

CLS55
I was supposed to take delivery in October, but cancelled. Will wait until first year issues (if any) are resolved. Another reason is the unavailability of 030.

Not in a hurry at all

Have they given you any idea what the MSRP is? I am wondering how much of a difference there will be between the 2007 CLS500 and 63. I am in the market for an S class and am curious as to what price difference the two will have.

The dealer just gave me the $103,995 price with every option minus 030 package. THe delivery truck is delayed and now they expect it should arrive at the dealer between Sat or Monday. Getting very anxious!
