2003 CL55
question and comment on 03 CL55
The steering wheel of the CL 55 in the 03 brochure is leather covered. I find no reference to a wood option for the 55. Is that correct?
Do not know how it will look on the seatback, but the AMG logo in the brochure picture appears to be a metal label attached to the seatback. I had expected an embroidered logo. Seems a bit tacky, but may look OK. In any event it will nto change my mind on my order.
Brochure also mentions that AMG tunes the ABC for a firmer, sportier ride, which suits me fine. Does anyone know if the 55 ride height is lower with the AMG tuning than the 500 or 600? There is no mention of the adaptive seat boltsers. Perhaps the review that mentioned this referred just to the new E55. The CL 55 will have different seats than the 500 or 600, that will have bigger side bolsters.
Also a couple of new colors, but I will stay with black/java.

The steering wheel is indeed all leather unlike the prvious years. The AMG logo on the seats is metal and the CL55 does NOT get the adaptive seat bolsters 
... The ABC, sits at the exact height as the 2002 model does. AMG supposedly has their "tuned" version of ABC in the 2003, however, I have been told there is no difference. We shall soon see.
