I placed an order for my dream car today!!!
I placed an order for a black on black CL 55 AMG. It will arrive just in time for summer. My CLK 430 was somewhat a disappointement in terms of build quality, although I've had many memorable experiences with it. I am still debating between silver (sort of getting tired of it) and black for the CL. It'll be an awesome summer.

I ordered keyless go, parktronic, Motoral V60 phone, and the electronic trunk closer. I felt that the distronic option was an overpriced and fairly useless gadget. What do you feel is a better color combo: black on black with chestnut wood, or silver on black with burl walnut trim?

I don't have distronic either, and am glad for the reason that if you have distronic, the front grill star is solid. Up close it looks strange and out of place.

I was just wondering - thanks!

The star is where the Distronic radar unit mounts, the emblem is incorporated into the unit. And if you've ever driven a car with Distronic in moderate traffic, I think you'll agree that the way the car controls its own speed is more than enough compensation for something as petty as the way the hood star looks.

Hi, mbtech208
Good to see you around and answering questions (looks like that you disappear for a while).
This one is an off topic question; according to my local dealer, they are going to Rancho Cucamonga for 2003 SL sales training. Did you see whole bunch of 2003 SL rolling in?
Thanks,
