They won't allow us to build our own just yet but site does say "Please enter your email address to be notified when you can build your
very own 2006 CLS and to receive the latest news and information."

"Console and cupholder design subject to change" = probably the poor roll top design seen on new E Class.

When I ordered my CLS55 (which I haven't decided if I'm gonna go through with it or get a used CL55) a few weeks ago........the 19's are standard in the US, with the 18's being optional.

thats what it says on the site.
"Wheels: New AMG 5 spoke 19" alloy, 8.5J X 19 front and 9.5J X 19 rear."
"Tires: Steel-belted radial 255/35 z19 front and 285/30 z 19 rear high-performance"

iam also thinking about getting a used CL55, but i put a $1000 deposit for the CLS55 and will make up my mind when the CLS500 comes out in a few weeks.

Dont believe all what you see on the website. I ordered (build date end of Jan. delivery Feb.) the CLS and 19's where an optional extra. Why would anyone pay extra to get smaller wheels. I saw it for myself on Netstar when they made the change for me.
