According to Car & Driver:

"2007 Mercedes-Benz CL-class A redesign is expected, but might slip to 2008."

Scroll down in the edit window to "manage attachments".

Once you know it there is nothing to it

Are those 2-tone rims standard? I'm very impressed with how they match with the car-color like they do.

The Two Tone rims are infact standard on the 65 Series vehicles. The color is called gunmetal.

Edit: I reread my post and realized I wasn't very clear. The color of the rims is called gunmetal.

Both the color and the rims (and the '65' part of course) give it a very distinguished and special look IMO. My 55 is completely stock because the 'customizing' is not my cup o' tea (although I like to see it), but this... Thumbs up!

No problem. I know a dealer here locally who has a white CL65 and is asking $240k. That's markup included.
