2003 Clk 500

Got to Drive the New 2003 CLK 500, not even launched in the US yet, but I got my hands on it. Its an awesome car. Throaty exhaust, dual ram air from under the hood. No Upper A Pillar for the doors. the front and rear windows are independent so the frame is on the back end so you have the car open completely from the windows. Also the seat belts pop out from the back so you can grab them and once you click the belt in the mechanism retracts. Very nice features, if you want I'll go get pics today of that and the E Class.

Ride quality is tight, definately made for sport driving. Its a ton of fun to drive. Can't make it slip out, and the sport shift is packed with power. You hit the gas from stop, and the cars starts moving, then all of a sudden it punches hard. Actually throw you back in the seat. Amazing.
