Put in my order today for a CLS550. Dealer said it will be 4-5 months...groan. But, realistically, that is fine. I still have a few months left on my E350 lease.

Here is what I ordered:

2013 CLS550
Black/Black
Ash wood
18" AMG wheel package
Premium 1
Multi-contour seats
Parktronic
Lane Assist
Wood-leather steering wheel

I ended up dropping the 4matic. After driving the RWD I came to the same conclusion I came to in 2009 when I got my E350...the RWD models handle better.

Anyways, at least I'll have a nice Christmas present.

Congrats and good luck with the wait! Need color combo it looks better in black interior than beige/grey.

Nice choice. I have the same except for lane departure warning. That's for old folks.... I kid.... I kid.
I didn't want the parktronic at first, but now a big fan. I also really like the wood steering wheel, except when it's really hot from FL sun. You'll love this car. I've been in and out of cars every 6 months to a year. This CLS has been keeping me in the honey moon stage for quite some time. I smile every time I look at her and a bigger smile when driving.

haha, I know what you mean, I keep my cls covered up all week and it's that much better when I drive it on the weekends because I really don't see it all week

Ordered her in Mid October. My dealer told me my build slot was in December 12 and I wouldn't see it until early March. She showed up December 30th.
It was a nice way to bring in the new year.
Nonetheless... You will enjoy it.
