Wanted the CL63 but could not pony up the extra $25K, so I got the 550 with the AMG package, premium 2, Silver with black leather, quite a looker. Felt like I got a good deal and I love the CL 10 times more then the SL. 0-60 in 5.3 sec. is good enough for this old man

Congrats on joining the CL club

Had a 550, 600, 63 030...and now have 65

Each CL for me is much more addictive than the prior....and 65 the most enjoyable, best value car I've ever owned/driven...looking fwd to getting the '10 CL65 w/its mid-cycle tech advances
