Very very nice. Congrats!

Btw, I think it's time to update the sig.

What do you think of it so far?

V12Godspeed

Awesome, nice car.

that interior is just amazing!!!

So far it's night and day between the 65 engine and the 55. The endless V12 power is so smooth in it's response but also, please keep in mind I am in the break in period. So I have to keep it under 4500rpms/85mph for the first 1000 miles. I'm only at 200 so it's going to be a little while before I get on it! I'll report back soon :-)

With that being said, I think the only CL minus will be the road feel and "me" missing some of the punchy V8 supercharger handling. It's nice to have the best of both worlds 55/65, I am blessed to have both options in the garage.

Oh yea, and before I forget. It's going to take some getting used to the paddle shifters being the only option for manual shifting. In the cls I would rely on the stick for manual up/down shifts. I feel the paddle shifts have lag in the CLS?!?

Thanks!

It is a beauty by itself

Remember, Don't you ever wear jeans.
Ever.

Congrats. That is absolutely beautiful!!! I am salivating thinking about the possibility of mine in a few months. As far as I know it will be white with beige interior. Keep us posted as I will be living vicariously thru you until I can get my own. I too am keeping my other AMG so will be very interested in your side by side comparisons when you are able to finally get on it!!! Enjoy

One of the best I've seen.

Congratulations on your gorgeous car. That color combination is stunning, even if it makes me tremble with fear at the thought of maintaining it.

I noticed that your wheels are different than those shown on the AMG site. Did you opt for a different design?

Enjoy in good health!

It's a beast, congrats.

I believe that the European version comes with the other rims.

If I wear jeans, I'll be sitting on a towel. It's worth it!

Vic55

Break that thing in right!!! Push the RPM's up and down the range to stretch the seals but dont let it sit in the high range for long periods of time. I did that with my 65- hard break in for the win!!!!

Sexy A$$ Car BTW.

DoctorV8

Sweetness! Let me know if you wanna meet up sometime.

Seems like just yesterday mine was new (to me). My brother reviewed the car here....see if you agree on his characterization of that magnificent motor!

Incredible interior. Incredible 2 car stable.
Enjoy.

Does the 65 have the option of LSD? I have yet to see one with it.

Lexani

Very nice. Needs some wheels though.

HouTxCLS55

So far the interior has been easy to take care of. No issues, knock on wood. Piano Black wood

I've got mine for a few more weeks if you want to take some ebony/ivory pics.

PlatinumEdition

wow great car!

HouTxCLS55

What are you getting Doctor V8?

DoctorV8

I'm debating between another W215 CL65 or a 2008 W216 (haven't driven one yet) .....

Or maybe going off the deep end and going for the SL65 Black series that I can't stop thinking about. ;-)

I would love to check your ride out sometime if possible.
