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.

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).

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

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.

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.

And it’s probably something that can’t be removed.

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.
