CLS dates of release.....
H i all,
I received an email from my dealer saying the CLS500 would be....screw it, cut and pasted:
Hi Todd,
We just received a press release from corporate that states the CLS500 rollout is slated for January17th with the CLS55 to follow "a few weeks later" Your car is due to hit port around the 8th and I'm sure will sit until they release them nationally. I will keep you up to date as we get closer.
So it sounds like mid-february for them to release the cars. Take it for what it's worth.

I think you mean all the others being the AMG55's in February, not January. I think it is very possible that the CLS350-500's are in port already just waiting to be released.

just got off the phone with my dealer, the cls500 base price 65k+ and in the dealership the 17th of this month, i am holding my order for the cls55 until i see the car for myself. my main reason for the hold is the fact that there seems to be different opinions as to how big the rear seat space is. i want it to be bigger then the E class. so my dealer said that if i put the options and color choice in on the 17th my dilivery date would be end of march beg. of april. which i am fine with due to the cold wintery weather up here in New York. at least i know the car wont be seeing snow so soon

Even if you simply look at the "purpose" for this car--the reason it was designed--all indications are that the rear compartment will be smaller.

If you sit in the back, and ignore the high beltline and low roof and what sort of objective feeling it may impart, the seatroom is pretty much identical to a W211.

Agreed that the back seats don't have more room, but you pointed out that it was less, and it really isn't. It's the same.

i was thinking a CL and compared to the CL the CLS is bigger and more of a refreshed look then the CL. and the CL is gone soon anyway.

I guess coloration can have a lot to do with it. I think my E-class feels small inside because it is all dark: charcoal leather, black wood, etc. But then again, an all-black S-class doesn't have that feeling.
