Not me. I just got my car in January and have no complaints with it. I also don’t think the $10 to $15K CLS premium for a restyled E-class is worth it.

Of course

I will either sell my car in January or trade it in when the CLS55 comes in just like I did with my C32 when my E55 came in.

I'll be selling my car and getting a CLS55. However, I will wait til the second or third year of production. I never like getting 1st year becuase they always seem to add options as the car progresses.

I don't know. You might want to get that first year before the accountants get a hold of it.

I'm thinking about it, but prefer the 5 passenger seating of the E55. The pix I have seen of the CLS55 all have 4 place seating.

Already Placed My Order

I placed my order as soon as the CLS55 was announced and currently am already in the Netstar system.

There are pros and cons, of course; however, in my case, I have found the front seats in my 2004 E55 so uncomfortable that I was determined to dump this otherwise fine car as soon as possible.

If these seats in the CLS55 are as poor as those are in my E55, I will not take title and buy an S55, which I actually don't want to do.

Will do it when there is a bigger engine for the CLS than the current 55

I'm getting a CLS55 to replace my MY2002 E55 W210. I like the E, but think th styling of the CLS is great and will also appreciate the additional horse power.

4 wheels
Nope I need 5 seats and not 4. The wife has to sit with the kids in the back sometime on trips and such and the CLS would not do with its 4 seat configuration.
