Present from Sandy Claws

My new CLE 53 Cabriolet is pictured below. Naturally, it has rained steadily in the two days since I picked it up. I'll post a top-down pic when I can, so the red leather interior can be seen.

I haven't pushed it due to the weather, but I can already tell that going from my previous V8s to an inline 6 is no great sacrifice. I've never driven a car with rear-wheel steering, so I'm looking forward to testing it on dry pavement.

Moonlight White metallic, red /black Napa leather, metal weave trim, red roof, 20" cross-spoke black wheels, Night Package, Pinnacle Trim.

Love that you went outside the box with the color combination and looking forward to seeing picture of the inside matching the top color ! Thanks Mercedes for giving us the choices to mix and match like this . Mine will be Patagonia red with a black top and red/black Napa interior.

The rain paused for a while, so I finally got a few top-down pics.
