Love it..

such a huge gauge for the clock? lame.

i suppose i'm one of the few that really likes the CL203 gauges.

I like it, it different, but i like it.

i like it a lot - but i also think the clock is strangely prominent... seems like they just wanted to balance the gauges (the tachometer) w/ it.

not bad at all...whut car is it?

Guess it's from the new E-class (W211). Looks really nice IMO.

It is from the 03 CLK. The only drawback is the blue instrument lights do not match the orange stereo and AC lights (Poor planning) I also agree the large clock screams afterthought.

Well, at least the tachometer is on the right and it's full scale...

If its got the same features as the new E-class, then it will also have illuminated interior door release housing. Pretty amazing when you first see it!

looks cool. that dash in on both the W211 E-class and the W209 CLK-class. having seen the new CLK the other day the white-ish blue hue for the dash board works really well with the center console

For my part, I don't like the lighting. White needles on a pastel background are hard to see, IMO. Moving the tach to the right side does make it easier to see the low rev side (the most useful side) of the tach, but the gauge overall isn't significantly larger to make it a real improvement.

The clock is not only an afterthought, IMO, it should not be in the instrument cluster at all. This is one of my pet peeves of the current C-Class gauges. Passengers can't read the clock. Clocks should be centrally mounted (in the Radio display) where all occupants can see it. Instrument panel placement is just dumb.

Instead, I would prefer the clock space be used for combination gas gauge and temperature gauge, rather than the miniscule slider gauges to the right and left periphery, where they are easy to overlook.

Finally, since the gas filler flap is on the right side of the new CLK, MB has taken a step backward in placing the gas gauge on the left side of the pod! Designers get ergonomic kudos when they place the gas gauge to whichever side of the pod that indicates the placement of the gas filler, like in the current C-Class. What a goof!

I think they're a step in the right direction. I would prefer to see a cluster with a large speedo and tach with smaller oil pressure, temp, and/or battery charge info. The colors are interesting, kind of VW in my opinion. Would love to see an instrument cluster in green since that's the color our eyes see best at night.......

other than the W203 C-class, MB always had their tach on the right hand side.

i prefer the clock on the center console too, so i don't have to answer my passenger everytime they ask. i can just tell'em "look on the center console, dumbass"

One would think that most of our passengers are wearing one of those wrist-mounted clocks. So the position of a clock on the dash should be mostly irrelevant.

I'm not thrilled with the display shown, but I do wish the C-coupe's tach were bigger. I find it's too small and one's hand at the 10-o'clock position tends to block it a bit. I know MB would never do the 911- style "tach in center approach," but for the Coupe, they could have gotten away with it.

what i said was from experience giving rides to my friends. that does not necessary apply to all people of course. to me it is relevant.

i find that blue indiglo looking display kind of irritating on the eyes. I think the amber display of the 203 is a bit easier on your eyes. However the round shaped MFD is a big improvement

My favorite illuminated dash at night has got to be the rsx, red numbering may not be really functional, but it sure is cool looking.
