Nice.....18s, quad exhausts, new center console.

 

hottness

 

lol body outline looks like the previous gen CL....

 

that car!

 

i dunno im on the fence here...love the engine/interior...but the exterior just doesn't look aggressive at all to me. i'd prefer a last gen.

 

SO HOT. that backend looks so nice with quad tips.

 

Looks nice, but I much prefer the E-55.. Doesn't this only come with the NA 5.5L engine vs. the SC'ed 5.5 in the E55?

 

Quad tips do add a real nice touch. Loving that two tone interior as well.

All that being said as a whole i liked the previous gen better as far as looks good.

 

I don't....not anymore anyway.

The 208 just looks old and dated compared to the 209, the small updates for 05 put it over the fence imho (the frameless windows alone are a huge advantage over the 208).

 

Yes, it uses the NA AMG 5.5L 24-valve V-8......its a fast car.

The E55 is faster though, but the smaller and lighter CLK is more fun to drive.

 

Nice car, but as long as they insist on only having a Tranny with P-R-N-D-1-2 on it, I’ll never consider buying one.

what about p-r-n-d-1-2-3

heh

 

The $70,000 price tag played no role?

It's too blah except for the rear.

 

most cars come with xenons stardard these days, or the most a $500 option. Only MB can charge $990 for them

Anyways i LOVE that car, white is sooooooooooooo sex.

 

Yeah, but it has a WASHING system too! That is worth the $990 alone....or not...

 

red xs 4 me

 

no stock navi... fucking benzes man...

the car looks very cheap for a AMG benz. the only really nice parts i like about it are the tails and the frameless windows. but then again the red taillights are also a VERY dull red, making it look super cheap. and the reason behind this is due the the signaling peice of the taillights bc the plastic is thin and dull so it can appear red, but shine yellow when signaling.

 

Maybe they don't offer the "gold trim and emblems" package either

 

 

that car needed quad exhaust, it looked too plain otherwise. also, i too liked the wider and lower looking previous gen. it just looked so smooth and classy, this new gen is too bubbly, too previous gen cl imo.

 

now i see them


but wtf is up with blank/unmarked buttons on a $70K car? WTF??!!!

 

That yellow & white warning sticker in front of the shifter isn’t exactly beautiful either.
And it’s probably something that can’t be removed.

 

where ya been mang? kinda dropped off radar...

 

Actually that sticker comes right off.......

 

Wow.........I think everyone gets that Black/Blue interior combo. Every white AMG I've seen has it.

 

its nice but nothing to aggresive for the price tag. But I am feeling the rear lip spoiler and the qaud exhaust

 

You don't think 369hp is aggressive?

 

It should be.

That car needed the new 18's and exhaust bad but it looks better than ever since they have added these.

 

all the new benz's look really good with the quad exhausts. that interior looks alot different than the ones that came out last year, or am i just high?

 

HAWT...runs like a scalded dog, huh?

 

I think the AMG benz's look really good in that racing silver...I don't know the exact name...

 

All day long

 

all benz's are hot.

hands down

 

edit : except for the kompressor hatch

 

unacceptable.

honestly tho, why isnt the beast in this? i mean, the slk and c will be shitting all over this car, why so conservative with the clk55 unless theyre moving it down market.

 

Isn't that what they're doing? They need to keep it positioned below the CL/SL55, right? I always thought it was a purposeful move to put the non-SC'ed engine in this one.

 

In the next 2 years, the SLK55, C55, and CLK55 will all have new 408hp engines. This will supposedly move the C and CLK class ahead of the next M3/M4 in terms of power.

 

DO you know when this was happening? I'll wait until then if it's for sure.......

 

Supposedly by 2006 MY. The C55 has been approved to go this route and the last I heard the CLK was still in waiting.

 

Hmmmm...... I must find out more about this.....
