Chappy

Sweet!

The interior wood appears to have a matte finish....any more pics of the inside?

stickyc

wow, that's beautiful.. exactly the color scheme i have ordered. on second thought, is that irridium silver or indium gray? what does everyone think of how parktronic looks?

Teck

That's the last one I have. The car has every option and 19'' wheels

Teck

Iridium-silver and leather nappa black (well we call that nappa in Europe)

Tezta

wow talk about brand new. 0km

Noticed that the trunk lid badges are missing. Were they removed or are they a dealer installed item before delevery to the customer? - Bob

veritas

good question i was wondering the same thing

Teck

There's a code 260....this contains that the car comes without badges

The V8 Kompressor badge gives it away

is that the glossy lauel wood or the matted burl? good luck car looks great

Teck

Mattet burl. We'll get a CLS 500 this week with glossy lauel. I'll try to post pics if I don't forget it.

Are you sure that sample has all the options. I thought a wood trim steering wheel was available. It is certainly listed as an option for the CLS500 in any event. (Trim Package - including wood wheel and shift knob.) On a side note I see from the new brochure those are the wheels that we also get in the US with the CLS55 AMG. IMHO though, they look too much like the wheels that came with the SLK350 launch edition, examples of which still seem to be stuck on a lot of dealers' lots. The Brabus look-a-like wheels that come with the AMG styling option on the CLS500 would be my preference. Actually, I suspect that the best value might well be to go with the CLS500 and get it loaded with all desirable options and the AMG styling kit. This still gives you the wheel mounted paddle shifters plus the new 7 speed transmission instead of the outdated 5 that is hobbled onto the CLS55 AMG. After all the CLS is more a styling statement than a performance one regardless of model.

if you look in ur brocure by the options you will see that there is a foot note near the trim package. it says that you cant get the trim package on the CLS55. it also says that if you get the AMG kit you cant get the trim package either.

Looks very nice I can't really visualize the matte-finish wood - maybe it's better in real life than in the photos...

The dash doesn't do it for me...I dunno why...

Thanks for checkiing the fine print LUV2X. I guess the paddle shifters complicate the steering wheel to make the trim kit too problematic to offer on the AMG kit or AMG model. I actually don't have a brouchure yet, but was relying on what I could see on the one scanned by one of the posters here which unfortunately blurred some of the fine print.

Looking good!

i was at the dealer today and i didnt like the matte-finish. it looked too dull and didnt look like expensive wood should look. i saw a gloss finish through the window of another one and it looked better. i was thinking matte, but after today i think iam going to get the gloss finish.

Never forget I am in Europe. We don't have such packages as you over there. The 19'' wheels are a option over here for about $1000. The 7 speed auto tranny is not available for any AMG at the moment. Only for the "normal" V8 engines. It will be available in the future but not yet.
The wood trim.....well it's looks just awful to me. I don't like it likt that!
