Differences between model years?

I'm looking for a used CL500 or CL55, does anyone know if there are major differences between the 2002 model year and the upcoming 2003 model year?

There are major differences between the 2003 CL 55 and the 2002 CL 55. Engine power is up about 150hp and 150 ft. lbs. torque, transmission is F1 style with steering wheels up and downshift buttons, interior will be upgraded, DVD vs CD Comand system, headlights and taillights will have different lense treatment, and brake system will be similar to new SL system. CL 500 will have same power and transmission, but other changes will apply. Check out the link to the germancarfan site article.
