more automakers need to bring out matte paint jobs too, i think they look stellar, id certainly consider something in matte as long as it wasnt a $2500 option.

actually jakeK, the VW GTI doesnt have the headlight cleaning system anymore. It was only for the 2006 model year, then they started cutting corners to save on cost.

yea, I LOVE the CC. And not just because I be biased . I think for the money it is nicer then the TL, although i would give the TL a slight edge in handling (AWD Vs 4Motion), but for the money, 27k starting price, you can’t go wrong with the CC imbo!

Oh and Zcarsales is right…sort of. If you wanted this category of car, The Volkswagen CC is at the very least, a much smarter purchase.

That is one seriously overpriced vehicle. The very cheapist regular CLS starts at $70,700 and if you’ve ever built any car on mbusa.com, you already know that evvvvrything is a la carte…and the options are wayyyy overpriced. Mercedes-Benz is out of line, and a foolish purchase.

Google, the Volkswagen CC. Same style and workmanship, but 10′s of thousands less.

“are Bi-xenon headlamps with dark headlight castings, active headlights, a headlamp cleaning system”
and “aluminum sports pedals”

Wow – it doesn’t come standard with those things? A VW GTI has those features at no cost, but a 80k+ Mercedes it’s a freakin’ option.

I’m still on the fence on the matte finish paints. They look interesting and maybe it grows on you, but touching up on it maybe hard to do. If you get in a wreck – how does the paint job match up then? And who will even fix it? How easy is it to wash- more water spots from it having a less slick surface? Can you wax it? I still see this as being the next fad in cars in the very near future – especially on luxury cars and Jeep Wranglers.

If it don’t have a Twin Turbo V-12, with a true 6 speed stick shift with 8 piston caliper & 15″ disc Brimbos….
