nahh....cant remember. And the picture of interior is somehow too dark,probably because of lights. But I would say it was something like standard wood color like in S class,but not sure...

The 500 tag is used everywhere else outside of the U.S. The U.S. market will have a 550, really doesn't matter they all use the same 5.5L V8.

I don't know...I'm still not excited about the new one, but I'm sure it looks better in person.

I showed my wife the pictures of the CL in the latest Motor Trend and asked her what car she thought it was. She said it was the new Toyota Solara. Nuff said!

LFMAO! That's what I think too. I wish I had one of those picture morphing programs. I'd take a toyota Solara for the rear qtr and sides, Acura CL for the front and back, and a new Ford for the fenders. Mix all of those together and you have the new CL. Oh yeah, cross a new M6 and a chevy Equinox for the interior.

New design is not sticking with me either. Maybe time will change that but for now I view it the same as I view the Bangle designs: Yuck!

Guys this thing looks like pretty damn good....On the the streets it will be like some kind of imperial battleship meets super coupe. The old CL still looks good though and will always be one of the best looking car MB made IMO.
