I wish I had more pictures. I saw them downtown earlier in the day and had to do a double take as they were gorgeous! I was lucky enough to come across them again!

Well, look on the bright side, you'll be able to enjoy your beautifull CL55 for a long time without the itch to upgrade to the new model
