2010 CL65
Cosmetically very little change (thankfully)
Read somewhere that there's a lot of new, active safety tech and a new Comand interface, esp w/more seamlessly integrated iPod interface (like '09 SL)
Anncmt of Maybach Zeppelin yest indicates that 65 motor massaged to 640hp (extra 28hp)...presumably some debugs and advances to motor and gearbox from the R&D work for 65Blk...suspect '10 65s will have this upgraded motor...and perhaps even the downshift blips of 65Blk
In any case, eagerly await getting '10 CL65 once it arrives in US...this car is so damn addictive to drive

In the US, consumers prefer to have the engine size (i.e. 5.5L) reflected in the model designation. In Europe, where these pics were taken, they don't bother with that, so the S550 here is the S500 there; the CL550 here is the CL500 there, and so on.

Not much of a change at all. Maybe one of M-B's most subtle Facelifts in recent times.... I like that, I hate when car-makers mess up a great looking car by trying to change things up, simply for the sake of changing things up. If I remember correctly the 215 CL had relatively minor changes as well, albeit a lot more than this facelift seems to have.
Everyone is aware they are changing it (stupidly) to an S550 Coupe right?
