CL600 (sold) E550 Sedan
CL600 ----> E550

I love my '05 CL600, but the kids are getting too big to climb in/out of the back seat, so I bit the bullet and ordered a '10 E550. It will be an Oct build in Metallic Black/Nat Beige (2 tone interior), with 4WD, sport package, P2, driver assistance, parktronic, panorama roof, night view & spoilers.

My first post here on the forums, so I am sure there is a better place for this, but I will likely be selling the CL600. It's black/black with ~28,000 miles.

Anyway, I am VERY excited about the E550, and hope it arrives by Thanksgiving!

Congrats... BUT MAN!!! The CL600 is a beast. I love those cars. I'm gonna be honest, it won't feel the same. But enjoy the new E. Those CLs are a headache though (we have an 02 CL500).

That'll be quite a switch, very different animals.

Congrats and I'm eager to hear a review on how the two feel and differ to you as well.

I didn't mention this with the original post, but I am getting the sedan. I am sure that it will be a different ride than the CL600, but I rarely got to push it anyway with little ones in the back seat.

What do you guys think of the spoiler package? I specced it with the roof & rear spoiler kit, hoping it would make it look sportier (especially since it's black). It looks good online, but I haven't seen it live. I don't want it to be too funky.

I think today or Monday is the last day for me to make any spec changes. Any strong opinions out there?

I saw the natural beige/black interior and it is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks! I usually do the black/black thing, but my wife encouraged me to do the two tone for a change.
