Cool live pic of E55 from Chicago show

Check out this picture from the show which opens to the media Feb 12. If you go to live cam #1, it's in the back behind the Audi sign. Too bad you can't make out the window sticker.

I will be at the "first look for charity" on thursday night at the Chicago Auto show.

I will report back to the board asap after I finish drinking, eating and sitting in cars that I cannot afford.

e55
This a US version of the E55, it has the amber reflectors on the front bumper. Some VIP will probably be driving this car once the shows are over.

There is another one on the floor as well. Dark Blue (I think - lots of glare) it's near the audi Sign and the sign with interiors. You can see the rear w/ camera 1 and the front w/ camera 4.

Personally, I prefer the darker color - take a look.

Can't find it from camera 4, but from the back it looks like the S55...

Where's that silver E55?

I was thinking the same thing. If you look closely, the wood trim in the interior is a burl walnut type trim, and not the dark black bird's eye maple wood trim that will be standard in the E55.

I seriously doubt this an E55.

Dr. Chill,


The convertible appears to be a SL and not a CLK. Can you confirm?
