Just appeared in the past day or two - still cant build one yet online - only shows a few option packages. Now if I could just get a build date for my CL63 I'd be happy.

im also waiting for the build your own option, have you set your mined on the 63? If so why the 63 and not the 600. With all my research i think im going for the 600. Not trying to argue just want to know other opinons.

thanks

I think the biggest difference in just the personality of the car. My S55 was so different than my dad's S500 - from the seats, suspension, exhaust note...they were very different cars. I think the 600 has the better engine but I think it will tend more toward the luxury than the sporty side. I like the sportiness of my S55 and look forward to getting in a coupe again. I agree that they should have bulked up the 63's engine a bit - but either should be a good choice.
