I read the same thing. It is a misprint. The gauges are the normal Electroluminescent display that the S and CL classes use. Other than the ///AMG logo on the instrumentation its the same.

I agree. With the Electroluminescent display it would have looked like crap and gone against what the Electroluminescent display attempts to accomplish.

article was right on time....

I was toolin one around last weekend for a day. Very nice but very large car. My buddy drove my car and I took his. Different but I was very happy to get back in my car. He was floored with the performance of my car but like me, he was all too happy to get back into his S55. It is so much bigger than the C class that there is probably some feeling of claustrophobia. But not for me....
