Al, It's the 2011 CL550 not 2011 CLS550 that currently has the new engine.
Here's the link to my review, scroll to post #31 : https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...my-2012-a.html. I hope they engineered the extra noticable turbo hiss out of the 12's as it's not very befitting of an MB CL. It will be interesting to see just how many will like the turbo vs the NA v8 engine after driving it...

You're welcome Al. I'm looking forward to reviews from those that aren't current E owners that will truly objectively compare the NA V8 to the TT DFI V8 once the 12's arrive and both cars can be driven back to back. I'm not saying those that are driving the current version can't be objective but owning the current product may tend to cloud their objectivity.

I've already driven the '11CL550 4 matic months ago and wrote a review in the w212 forum under MY2012; the engine in the CL has over 500lb ft of torque which is a big jump over what the E's will get.

Selling Price
Anyone have any idea of a price increase/decrease on the 2012 E350 coupe?
I think I'm holding off for either the new model, or a 1 year old 2011 for a good deal given the changes.
has anyone pre-ordered one of these yet?
