I said "the look", not "my look".

Theres nothing new about white/black, styles come and go like bell bottoms.

I did mention however, that at SEMA, grayscale cars were the wave. Expect cars with colors to be out like long hair. Speaking of which, out of curiosity, has ANYONE seen either a green or blue or red CL? I dont know if Ive ever seen one...

Have seen a green CL550 often parked in one of the office parks on Sand Hill Rd in MenloPk; same pkg lot has '07 blue CL600....nearby office bldg pkg lots often have ?5-6 blk/blk '07/'08 S65s and one white/white ?Designo S65.....

Actually, occasionally see a few more unusual colors down in Woodside/Atherton.....lots of jaded guys who have owned many, many silver and/or blk CLs/SLs/S-Classes and look for an occasional change.....

Routinely/daily see several CL63 030s (silver/blk and blk/blk) in SF commute traffic/office pkg garages....have also seen couple of silver '08 CL65s in commute traffic in City....the PacHts-FinDt commute....

Have several colleagues who work/live in City w/CL63 030 who alternately commute via CL63 or 599 for that 10 min daily intra-City commute up/down the hills....

Many venture capitalists and tech guys in SiliconValley seem to commute via new CL63s and S65s....

As uncommon as these cars are anywhere in world (incl most parts of SF and LA regions), they tend to routinely/disproportionately congregate in certain easily predictable locales.....

I am working on the AutoCouture's S550 that is on the cover, as we speak.

At first, it was a bit too much, but now I starting to like the look.

i know its not the same model, but My CL is white and I'm debating, keep the wheels i have now Black or paint them white?

i object to black wheels for the simple fact that they KILL any wheel design, but the wheels on the cover of that mag are SICK!

you need contrast from an all black wheel.

Ill tell you exactly why you like this picture and not the car.....because I PS'ed out the front cut outs in the side skirts. They greatly clash with the fender vents and ruin the entire cars flow IMHO.

Go back to the actual car and youll see the diffrence.
