Have not seen this combination in real life, only bits of it and in pictures. The wood trim is more of a satin finish than matt and I think it looks a bit more modern than shiny gloss wood, I have seen it in a black interior and it looks real classy. I nearly went for black interior, but I wanted something that I hope will suit the car more. Just hope I have made the right choices as I will be keeping this for around 8 years. Not had experience of light coloured leather in a car before. Liked the piano black too but it showed every finger mark.



Think I have found how to post image, hope I am not breaking any forum rules.

I think this is how the exterior will look. We have two options here, the sport trim and the SE as here. I really like the styling of the front of the CLS. The sport has one band on the grill, sport skirting, twin exausts, 19" instead of 18" wheels, sports steering wheel, stiffer suspension and LED adaptive headlights (which I have had as an option as I think they are brill)

Estimated pickup date 28th Sep. Was built last week and I have been pushing for an earlier date to pick up from factory, but they just will not be rushed.

Extra urban basically means "in yer dreams"

The engine is very common here in the E Class, more than any other and probably throughout Europe.
