Just wondering if my 2008 would have the same exact suspension (and presumably overall handling) as the 2011-12 cars...?

Bump

Still has ABC.

I believe 2013 is getting Magic Body Control. Google it it's pretty nifty.

Yep, cool when it works. Imagine the expense of repairing this system out of warranty. I can hear it now from the CL owner, "I was driving down a perfectly smooth street and my car was riding like it was on a road paved with bricks." The Mercedes service advisor says, "Sir, that is your Magic Body Control. When working properly, it smooths out a rough road surface and makes it feel smooth even over the roughest sections. Unfortunately, your car has a faulty Celestial Rotational Algorithmic Proporting camera. We call it a CRAP sensor for short. It is a $15,000 repair. Fortunately, these hardly ever fail on Friday."
