Style Change?

Does anybody when the current CL body will change? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a discounted '04 600 and don't want to be caught driving the "old" car and associated depreciation for at least two years.

The new body S Class will be introduced in Setpember at the Frankfurt show, figure the new body CL will appear at some show about six months later. This puts the new car here in the US in about 18 months.

As an owner of a CL600, I can tell you it is the best Mercedes I have ever owned (out of 18, eight of which were AMG). They do depreciate, but you aren't getting any younger yourself! Enjoy now, 18 months from now, you'll be lusting after something else anyway.

I just don't want to have buyer's remosre after spending $130k. I just bought an SL600 for my wife and I love it, but it's hers. Driving it has made me want more than the eight cylinders in my SL500.

Are there any pics of the new car?
