The price for the modification will probably be ridiculously high.

Some new info on the C320 coupe. I just noticed this on MB Germanys webpage:
"Durchgängig kräftig sind die fünf Benzinmotoren: Vom C 180 KOMPRESSOR mit 105 kW/143 PS über den C 200 CGI mit Benzindirekteinspritzung (125 kW/170 PS) bis zum C 320 mit 160 kW/218 PS zeichnen sich alle Aggregate durch eine große Leistungsbandbreite, beeindruckende Elastizität und dabei günstigen Verbrauch aus. Die athletischen Dieselmotoren mit Common-Rail-Technologie überzeugen durch Laufruhe und Sparsamkeit. Hierbei ist der C 30 CDI AMG das sportliche Top-Aggregat mit überragenden Leistungswerten."
I guess this means the C320 coupe is not a rumour. Its not yet listed in the pricelist though.

Phill, we don't get the CLK230 in the USA. We are very limited on what options we can get and which versions we are allowed to have.
I guess Mercedes-Benz doesn't think the American's are smart enough to deal with all those extra options and engine versions, lol

what about the rumor that all the 320 engines will be phased out for 350 engines?

2002 C230 K
Too bad we won't get that C30 diesel AMG here. That 400 ft-lbs of torque sounds like fun. I wonder if MBUSA will import the C320 Coupe? From the advertising they seem to like emphasizing how (relatively) inexpensive it is - it makes me wonder if they want to add a more expensive variant (although there is no reason not to).
Too bad there aren't really any tuners doing anything to get more output from the V6 motors to take advantage of the extra displacement. With just a pulley and some headers the 2002 C230K should probably have around 250 hp. I think I'll stick with my 4-banger.
Later, BT

My understanding is that the "350" designation will apply to the 3.7 liter engine. Am I right or wrong?
Thanks
