Doesn't look too hot...

I currently own a 2017 CLS 550 and have been very pleased with it. So much so that I ordered another in December with build expected in the third decade of April. It looks much different both front and rear from the model in the link, which is the special edition line. I am not sure if this edition will even be offered in the US because it is a limited-edition, although it may be offered where you live in Australia. The article shows the CLS 450 4-matic model but not the two wheel drive model. It looks like the difference between the special edition CLS and the regular is materials offered, a few exclusive colors and minor design changes in and out. MBUX is offered in both.

I read in the press release that Emerald Green will be available, but as part of the Designo program. Funny, it's a $720 color on other MB models, but if you want it on the CLS, you may have to pay the current Designo price of $4,900 unless MBUSA offers it in the standard range.

Yuck! The bright blue is really gaudy and more appropriate for a smaller vehicle. Maybe OK if it were matte finish or darker metallic.
