Cool! Congrats! What are the specs for your car? Did they give you an idea how long it would take to get built and arrive?

Palladium Silver; Black Ash. The dealer pretty much gave me a guesstimate when it would arrive. I should have a more accurate number in one or two days.

I'm setting my sights in the 2011 CL 63 AMG.. I'm digging the new LED lights along with the existing stellar package... 500+ power, good looks, comfort, etc... Any comments from current owners or interested folk... 150K price seems likely but I'm thinking you only go around once... I even got the wife agreeing with me on that one...

mine arrived on November 27 and the sticker was 154k I did not order the extra options like lane avoidance or distronic, I ordered heated steering wheel and package 2 I know how to drive the car. Anyway, its a huge difference between my 2008 CL 63 this motor gets 15 mpg in the city when left in c position it has on/off which stops engine running at a red light and a hold button so you can take your foot off the brake pedal at a red light. Car does not have 1k miles yet and once i hit the 1k i can hammer, Right now it really rocks even in c which gets you started in 2d gear. I love this car its as smooth as my old 2002 Cl 600 which was just as quiet

Which sound do you like more?
Is 15mpg in mixed(city/highway)?
Do you like Start/Stop function? Is there any way to turn it off?
I dont know why, but i`m sure that new 63 with tune will be faster that 65.

The bomb
This car is the bomb - driving it makes me feel like I just found the founatin of youth - I can see why the CL class has the most MB customer loyalty of all the MB vehicles offered. Once u drive something like this u can't settle for less...

Thank you so much for a Great review!
I didnt see the point to swap CL on another CL.
Now i see that it has different suspensions(more soft),By the way do you feel more body roll in corners?

Indeed. I do not like the styling, but that's a purely personal thing. But I am very much looking forward to trying out the new 5.5 liter TT with factory tuning package. I really like the 6.2 but do miss the lower down power of the the 5.4 kompressor and it sounds like this new V8 will be a more refined and more powerful version of that. High revving NA lumps are a passion of mine but for car driven primarily as a daily driver, I really do like torque heavy engines. If it's good as they say, then I'll be jumping the first dark colored E-class I can get my hands on.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
that's interesting.... didn't know they started making the CL's with four doors.
half kidding here - that's a CLS63, and thank you for posting the picture !!
I notice you are from Bal Harbour, as in North Miami area - did you mean car was in La Jolla (as in San Diego) ?

My mistake
Sorry about that, in my eagerness to post that picture, I neglected to realize it could be anything else.
Yes, La Jolla CA. Just have not updated my profile recently.
Also, just saw 2 brand new S400 hybrids a few moments ago. I had no idea those were being delivered to NA already.
La Jolla does afford someone a chance to see most new car classes early in their release cycle.

this car is stiffer not softer, there are several reasons to trade, 1-it is a depreciating asset-2-new twin turbo easy on the gas 3-its new!!!!! the dealer gave me a 73k credit for a car that cost 145 40 months ago which is a dream come true. This new Cl has a much different feel in the steering and suspension which is kept on sport with the ABC control.
