Talking Some pictures...

Finally got round to taking some pictures yesterday whilst the weather held up long enough for the sun to shine.

Pleased with the car so far, only a couple of minor problems, such as the drivers seat memory only half working (dealer reset some part of it via their diagnostic system) and the filler cap bracket is loose which they are going to replace.

What's with the wheels?? Looks too cheap? The CL style wheels looks much better on that car!

I think the European version CL has that wheel as I have seen many CL with that wheel in Hong Kong (I may be wrong because I have seen CL with this wheel and the CL style wheels you've mentioned about). I think they look great in real life.

They are an optional extra in Europe for both the S and CL. 5 spoke 18", £1100 ($1600) option. They seem to be quite popular over here as a jump between stock, and the optional 19" AMG 5 spoke.
They look a bit more sporty than the normal 17” factory fit IMO.

Maff

I think you should get the CL style. Your current wheels don't do justice on your CL.

Interesting that in other markets outside the U.S., a wood sterring wheel and shift knob are not standard.

Another interesting point is that in the U.S., when the Navi is ready it says, "NAVI READY" on the instrument cluster. I notice yours says, "NAVI ACTIVE".

The Voice Recognition stalk is different as well.
