Should be around $80k US for the 500 model, correct?
It has a very nice looking interior (especially the dashboard).
Anyone know if this car sits lower to the ground compared to the E and S? I saw it at the auto show, but it wasn't sitting on the floor next to the other cars, but was rather elevated above others, and when I got up on the ramp it seemed to sit low to the ground.

Awesome!!! The article doesn't state delivery dates though.

what does ex-works mean? I agree on the dash, i hope the 350 will have a leather dash too.. for that price it better be leather.

Tezta

wait wait.. the german price list shows (in Euros)
CLS350=54K
CLS500=67K
CLS55 =96k

But thats inclusive of 16% vat. so its actually
CLS350=46K
CLS500=58K
CLS55 =82K

Is that right?

FInality

How does that compare with the pricing of the E Class?

Tezta

heres the german price list http://www.mercedes-benz.de/mbd/pdf/E-210.pdf

it shows the E320 to be $38,850 Euro before Vat and the E500 to be $50,650

the CLS 350 is about 9000€ more than an E320, but 10.000€ less than an S350. i think that is a good middle.

and the CLS500 is a full 6000€ cheaper than an BMW 645i.

Sorry i forgot to include the CLS price list http://www.mercedes-benz.de/mbd/pdf/...CLS-Klasse.pdf

S350L-E240

I just want to know if this car has the panorama roof or not? someone who can read german please answer! Also puts an end to false rumours about a CLS65!

Tezta so we meet again..

Tezta

Hey my friend

I didnt see the pano roof option on the pricelist sorry, it would have been thhe ultimate car if it indeed had that option.

As for the CLS65, i have no idea, 55 first and maybe the 63 to repace all 55's later.

S350L-E240

But that i think will happen only 4 years down the line when it gets a Facelift and i wonder if this car would even need a facelift?

Nevada Jack

Anybody got a English translation of that price list?

Hey, wait a minute!

There's nothing mentioned in that price list about 4Matic, is there?

I doubt you'll see awd on the car, unless there's some major noise for it. MB doesn't put awd on any of its coupes, though they all can have it, as they're all based on some sedan with the capability (packaging considerations aside). MB is trying to make people view the CLS as they would a coupe- i.e. as much a toy, automotive fashion/jewelry as anything else. Putting a coupe-style grill and not offering awd is just another reinforcement of that concept. (and yes, I am aware that the ML has the big star in the grill, rather than on top, but that's a bit of a special case)
