The CL is simply a beautiful car, arguably (with the SL) Mercedes most so, with the AMG package.

Germancar1, Thanks, I am so lucky to own one. It is still so new, I am just now experiencing how wonderful it is to drive! Pesky break-in period!

Thanks vb26 I definately will enjoy it Tinting is an option a little bit later on. Only problem is that where I live the police are obsessive about tagging cars that have tint darker than our laws here allow. So, I have to think about it. Darker would work for me, though!

MikeRPA, LOL... It's funny the way you put that, because I have been taking it real easy on it since I got it In fact, when it came time to wash it...I was almost paralyzed! After reading the posts on here about Black cars and how easy it is to end up with swirl marks, I came close to calling a detailer just to wash it!! . Only half kidding about that Crazy E55 owners sound like they're havin fun--going to have to check their section of the site out--see what the're up to . "Drive it like it was stolen" Gotta love that Anyway, thanks again for the advise and kind words

JRAMGV8 HAHAHA That word pretty well sums up how I feel about it too In fact, I am determined to keep it in "WOW" condition. The only thing is I find myself parking soooo far away from every other car in any parking lot...sometimes all I hear is the breeze and a coyote or two for a few minutes til I get closer to where I'm going The lengths we go to for our MBZ's! Thanks much!

stick a fork in it. ITs done!

I dont see how Mercedes can ever improve on this design.

They can make a different design, or maybe more reliable but this is 100 percent classic in its beauty.

I used to say that about the previous car so it can be done. To have the mind of a car designer must be fun, but then again they've got like 3 years or so before the next one has to start seriously taking shape.

Of course I agree with you arena3 It will be fun to see what MB designers come up with in a few years. The more time I spend in this car the more beauty I see. The CL definately looks much, much better in person.

Germancar1 3 years at least. For right now though, the CL550 is not seen around too much, yet. I was in Beverly HIlls going to my office and people were turning to watch the CL go by There was a DB9 in the lane to the left of me and a bentley cont. two cars ahead of me in the other lane but people were looking at the CL!! Now that made my day
