Holy!! You're right!!!

The CLS Grand Edition comes with exclusive 18” AMG light-alloy wheels in high-sheen finish, bi-xenon headlamps with dark surrounds, and matt-coloured radiator louvres. Inside the car you’ll find a stylish black leather interior with the hallmark Mercedes-Benz luxury feel. Its V6 diesel engine offers a significant. performance upgrade on the usual CLS 350 CDI engine. With an improvement of 48hp (35 kW) on the standard model, it generates an impressive 272hp (200 kW) and 590nm torque.

Our first ever 4-door coupé, the CLS-Class is a truly unique vehicle – and now it has the paintwork to match. The CLS Grand Edition features an innovative matt paint finish that is the only one of its kind in the world.

The unique Palladium Silver metallic paint comes as standard, while designo magno matt platinum paint is available as a cost option. Designed exclusively for the CLS Grand Edition, this paint not only adds style but also offers greater scratch and dirt resistance than high-gloss finishes.

They just create my dream car!!

I´ve sarch on the internet and have seen reports dated on June 2009 talking about this new 350 CDI in the UK.

Not really odd at all IMO. The next CLS is twinned with the new E so right after the new E comes the CLS. My prediction would be the Franfurt auto show this fall. CLS has one more model year left (2010) in the U.S. after the E.

All points to September 2010 presentation. Just in time for the Paris auto show (2010 is an even year so it's Paris not Frankfurt this time ).

Chicago 2010: Mercedes CLS Grand Edition Gets Matte-Platinum Paint

Mercedes didn’t hold a press conference at the Chicago Auto Show, so it obviously had nothing of interest, right? Wrong. Besides the fact that there’s a new SLS exotic to drool over, Mercedes was showing off a limited CLS Grand Edition model.

Painted in matte-gray, or what Mercedes calls Desigo matte-platinum, this CLS550 is just the latest matte-finished car from Mercedes, which has also offered the IWC SL in matte white and the Night Edition in (what else) matte-black.

Other than the paint, there’s not much else different about this CLS. It gets the same AMG styling accessories and AMG wheels as all CLS550 models and this particular version had a particularly nice sunset red leather. Under the hood is a familiar powerplant too, the 5.5-liter V8 with 382-hp.

The special edition CLS550 Grand Edition is likely to be a collectors item, debuting during the last model year of the original CLS model – a revolutionary product from the typically conservative German automaker. Mercedes is set to show the second-generation CLS later this year.
