Its maybe the first Benz with a AMG kit I don't like. The previous version looked 10 times better, to me.
The electronics are amazing!

Nope, it's still a 7-speed automatic. With a manual mode, with steering wheel buttons. I think paddle shifters may be coming soon if they already aren't available.

Wow. First car in a while that I thought to myself "gotta have it". That thing is beautiful.

I don't think the CL63 is out yet. Do you mean CL65? Or CL55?

When Benzos are rockin' the AMG garb they're pretty cool but when they're just in stock form they don't really do anything for me. Anyhow, that CL 63 is hot

Nope. CL63 is the one that is coming out soon. CL65 still has yet to be planned.

CL55 no longer exists.

Not sure what you mean.

W215's are still being delivered. W216's... not.

For the 2007 model year. We are talking about the 216 right?

I do find it weird that he already got one though.

Yeah, that's what this thread is about, the W216. Didn't think they were out in any form, much less AMG guise, though. That's what has me scratching my head. Does he have connections or something?
