Hmmm... Whats with this grey colour they all seem to have...

It's called silver or something.

Needs a lower roofline. Looks like it's wearing a hat.

Not as nice as the old one at all. I hope the convertible is better. Would love to test drive one as I've owned a CLK 230 for over a year and would be looking at the new one.

actually, I think it looks quite nice, it likely looks disproportioned b/c we are used to that face being attached to the c-coupe, which has a lower roofline and bobbed tail by comparison. I miss the way the old clk looked more related to the E than the C, b/c this coupe doesn't. However, I like it.

quote:The CLK-Class range is headed by two V8 models: the CLK 500 (306bhp) and the CLK 55 AMG, which now develops an impressive maximum output of 367bhp.

So that's one with 89BHP per Ton and the other with 97..

Why bother supercharging a 2litre 4 pot, waste of time and money, should just use a 6 or 8 pot.

[Marshy]

...then supercharge it
