Who painted those big white letters all over the car and the engine in all those pics? Totally ruined the pics for me. ;-)
Just kidding. But seriously, a smaller logo would have been nice.

P.S. I'm sorry if we use logos but if we don't, we'll probably find our pics on Ebay tomorrow!

Those are not our pics so I don't know if I can post them here, but feel free to check them out on Ebay by searching for a CLS 55 AMG. And if you are allowed to post those pics in here, please do so.
In addition, they are obviously asking for a premium... They want $10,000 over the MSRP so I doubt their car will sell, considering that the market value on Ebay is alot less than $10k over the MSRP.

Nelson,
I have had two calls this morning since 8 AM offering cars at 10K over MSRP. Both of the cars had almost no options. MB must have built a few early cars and they have allocated them to certain dealers as is.

I cannot picture a buyer who is spending $90,000 on a car not wanting at least the basic extra options such as Navigation, Keyless Go and Bi-Xenon headlamps!I know for a fact that if we have an open allocation and we have to spec out a car, we always order them with Navigation, Premium Sound, Heated Seats, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, Keyless Go, Parktronic, and Electronic Trunk Closer.
But unfortunately, MB screwed this one up big time and that is why most of the cars that are on the ground are Silver or Black and only have the Premium Package

I know that some of you were just joking but a few were damn serious about it. I guess that you cannot always please everyone but I hope that people in this forum understand that we don't use the logos in our pictures to promote our company. Instead, we use the logos to protect everyone from people who might use our pictures to claim that they have a car and then scam innocent buyers who don't know better!
Anyways, the MSRP is $92,920 and this baby is equipped ONLY with the premium package.
Unfortunately, MB screwed this one up and manufactured most of the first cars this way.

:p LOLI hope that the new term is not as derrogative as it was back in the 70's.
