EVO is a European magazine, and MB Europe is retaining the "500" name on the models. So the S550, SL550, CL550 etc are still known as the S500, SL500, and CL500 etc overseas.

Basically a two door CLS with the new S class interior. I like it!

The speedometer is computer generated; the other gauges are analog I think. The computer screen can be switched to night vision with a digital speedometer along the bottom -- very cool

It looks yuck from this angle, but form the drivers seat you won't be able to distinguish the digital gauge from the two analog gauges. Very cool.

It's barely noticable like that when you sit right in front of it. Pretty neat though, like in the S-Class.

Was going to hold out for the cl but got the cls instead. Very content with the decision.
