The mid-cycle refresh for the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class has arrived and the changes look great! Here is my last 2014 CLS550 (very basic) parked next to a 2015 CLS550 4Matric. It isn’t my mostapples-to-applescomparison but it should highlight the differences in lights, bumpers and interior.
Is it me or does this look like the perfect Santa’s Sleigh? Come see this beauty on the showroom floor!

Naming a Mercedes-Benz is a complicated matter involving tradition, prestige andtrademarks. Sometimes an old classic is removed and replaced with something that fits better with the current line-up. Well, that is going to happen in a big way over the next few years!
The goal is tocenter the model designations around the 5 core models – A, B,C, E, and S. SUVs will start with GL and then add the core model designation that tells you how it lines up. The Coupes and Roadsters get a similar system using the CL and SL pre-fixes.
Get it? I think it will take me a while to remember the new names and I know I’ll be calling it the ML for years!
Also, we are shortening the engine designations:
There is going to be so much extra room on the trunk!
If you carefully read through the insurance documents for the Mercedes-Benz European Delivery program you will find that the carhas coveragefor Marten damage.
Marten Bites
Damage caused by martens chewing through or biting cables, tubes, leads and wires of vehicles licensed as private motor vehicles with the exception of rental vehicles, taxis and self-driven rental vehicles.
Ummm, what kind of monsters do they have in Europe!? Here is a video from Audi addressing the issue. It made megrateful to only have mice.
The 2015 CLS400 and CLS550 are scheduled to arrive this month. The CLS400 is a new 6-cylinder addition to the line-up and, based on the early success of the SL400, I bet we sell lots of them!
The 2015 CLA-Class will arrive in December with a host of upgrades! The 2014 sold like hotcakes all year and I think these improvements will certainly bring in even more excited new owners.

It has been a great year for the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team! With 3 races to go they have already locked in the Constructors’ title and the two drivers are battling for the Drivers’ title! It has been a great season and I think that deserves a t-shirt! I just ordered a couple of these as gifts for my favorite F1 fans from the official Formula 1 store. Mercedes Pride!
Sometimes new vehicles have surprises in store for us! This 2015 GLA45 AMG has the world’s most powerful 4-cylinder and the new owner proclaimed it “cute as a bug.” Unfortunately, we realized the Summer Tires it was equipped withfrom the factory were not going to be adequate for their winter driving needs.
Here is the solution! From 20″ matte black wheels for the summer…
To 19″ Silver and Grey Wheels with All-Season Tires for thewinter!
We could not find a set of all season tires to mountto the 20″ wheels so we wentanother route. We found a good looking set of 19″ Mercedes-Benz wheels and mounted an all season 19″ MOE tire to that set. Then we simply exchanged them! The 20″ black wheels are bagged up and ready to make their appearance in the spring! Very European, right?
Speaking of the old wheels…I was shocked to find out they easily fit in the back of the GLA45 with room to spare! Impressive!
Here is a close-up of the 19″ wheel we selected. It still shows off those amazing brakes and red calipers and now the car has two looks! Not a bad idea!

It’s here! The 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 Coupe has landed! This is the Edition 1 version in Magnetite Black with Bengal Red leather. It is not officially for sale in the US until later this month but the preview is fantastic!
This is the first vehicle since the CLA-Class to get the diamond grille and to accent that, the Edition 1 has Swarovski Crystals in the headlamps!
The 20″ AMG MultiSpoke Wheels are a part of the P88 Edition 1 Package.
The interior is stunning! 4 position seating in luxurious Bengal Red leather is comfortable, sporty and a work of art!
I don’t think I can take too many pictures of this, do you?
And it looks as good going as it does coming!
This vehicle is not yet officially for sale and does not have final pricing. The S550 coupe starts at $119,900 and should be available by the end of the month!
