CLS55 arrives in February 2005!
this from thecarconnection.com today:
"Benz CLS Arrives in January
The sleek-bodied 2006 Benz CLS 500 will arrive in the U.S. in January of 2005 wearing a pricetag between that of the similar E-Class sedan and the range-topping S-Class - roughly the low to mid-$60,000 range, Mercedes-Benz USA execs said at the launch of the vehicle prior to the Paris auto show. However, the low-volume "four-door coupe" won't be coming over with all-wheel drive or with a six-cylinder version, at least not for now. The AWD option is definitely off the radar - at a worldwide total of 30,000 units planned each year, 10,000 destined for the States, the volumes aren't there to justify the addition. However, a V-6 version with a lower bottom line is expected since it's already offered in other markets. A 476-hp AMG version, the CLS55, arrives in February."
