New CL55

While out working of an excess of turkey and dressing, I stopped by the dealership where I bought my lowly C230 coupe to look at all the goodies on the lot. They have a new CL55 still the the protective coverings. It is Brilliant Silver with Charcoal leather and Burl Walnut. It is the first CL I have seen up close. What a beautiful car.

Wonder what they are going to ask for the CL55 ...

The thing I have noticed about the CL's is that pictures do not do them justice. In person the car is totally awe inspiring...

And that's the first CL you've seen there? They must not sell that many in Missouri, I'd imagine.

I don't know how many CL's they sell here, but the few I have seen were going the other directionon the road, so I didn't see them for more than a few seconds. The only other one I have seen stationary was a black over black one at night in a poorly lit parking lot.

actually, i may have seen the CLs before, but never up close. i saw one at the dealership too (just last saturday) and it was gorgeous. of course, i had to pick up a brochure (not that i can afford it, yet ) but i couldn't quite get why it was so interesting. when i was looking thru the brochure, i got it. no B-pillar and the way the rear glass meets the roofline. very impressive design! my natural preference is for coupes and the CL is indeed a fantastic design. now i don't know whether to get the (new) SL or the CL in 3 years (for me)...
