2011 E550 vs 2012 CLS
I've got a 2011 E550 on order with designo options, and I'm interested in comparing to the 2012 CLS. Can you guys help me put together a list of some of the differences?
- Direct injection on CLS vs NA on E
- Exterior styling
- Leather dash on CLS (though, maybe on my designo E)
- Color instrument panel on CLS
- Back seat room better on E
- 3 seats in rear on E, only 2 on CLS
- 10GB music register on CLS vs 6 GB on E
What else?
PS: Fair enough that there are already a couple of other similar threads -- I've seen them myself before posting this. I'm more or less looking to summarize their content, and/or list explicit differences in features that were not discussed on those threads. The other threads a more about differences in driving style and seating comfort in the back -- I'm more curious about any differences in features.

I know that 2012 designo now comes with leather dash, I am not sure if they started that with 2011's.

See original post regarding the other threads....
When designo was first announced in February, the word on the 2011's was no leather dash. But, in mid-March, the dealer info was updated to say upper and lower parts of dash covered in black leather. So at this point I don't know what to expect. Where's your info on the 2012's coming from?
