Edmunds absolutely loves this car. The write-up is the best I've ever seen them give any car on the planet.

although the car looks awsome, its fading fast, you can see them sitting in dealer lots, plus they take a big hit as soon as there registered, no mystique like the CLK430/55 cabrio(i want, i want i want, but i have to wait a year) - they should have left production low and kept demand high, lexus got greedy and now its costing them

If anyone is seriously thinking about buying one they are great automobiles...absolutely wonderful. I personally like the new clk better especially since that will also be a hardtop convert this coming year.

Way to much money for a heavy, slow car. Then you have to spend another $5-$10k to pimp it out and make it slower with the big, heavy rims....
Don't get me wrong, it's not bad looking, but I could think of a lot of cars I'd buy for $65k over that one.....

still a Masshole
I love that car! For 60K, Its awesome! I can't think of too many cars that look better for that price! That car is not that slow (a little bit faster than us) but then again it looks awesome!

You're all right.. it's not super slow....
What I meant was it's slow in relation to it's size and cost. There are faster cars to be had for that amount of money.. however, I realize that drop tops are heavier by default, thus slowing them down.. even though pimp factor is raised
It's a hot looking car... but I guess just not my style... I'd rather have an M3 for that $$.....
