C32 AMG or CLK500!?

The CLK has a newer body.. I'd buy that given the choice. The CLK500 is no slouch either..

How are you getting a clk500 for the same price as a c32 with equal mileage? The most expensive c32 ive seen lately is around 42 thousand. Just curiouse as im looking for a car currently as well.

clk cab or not?! if you want speed then c32, if you want looks and rely heavily on your possessions to get into girls pants then the clk especially if its a cab...no offense or anything...also the clk does have a nicer interior, but only 2 doors, c32 will have 4...think about it...

there is no way a CLK500 with low milage would be the same price of a C32 AMG.
CLK500 is 60+K new and even a C55 is only low 50's.
If youg get the CLK500 with the 7 speed then YES, you can hand with a C32 stock, but in the C32 will eventually pull away. I doubt you can get a 7sp CLK500 for under 45k, since they just came out.
C32 easier & cheaper to mod and lighter.
CLK500 good looks, but ugly Butt and easy to mod but you need $$$$
AMG all the way...

As far as speed i think c32(0-60mph 5.0sec) and clk500(0-60mph 5.2sec) are very very similar, c32 being only slightly faster. In terms of looks its obvious the clk looks more sleek and more refined and just plain classier.
If the clk500 is cheaper then thats another plus. I definitely go for the clk500.
I am not crazy about the front end of the c-class, i think the headlights just look awekward. Although the C55 headlights look nice, since its the same as the clk.
So hands down I get the clk!
just make sure the clk has xenon lights because the regular halogen lamp is plain ugly.

IMO, if you are considering a coupe, try to spring for the CL. Now THAT is a nice-looking coupe.

This is a no brainer, really... CLK500 all the way. A lot of the C32 owners are obviously biased... Post this in the CLK forum and see what happens...

I don't understand this thread one bit... Yes, both cars are great. However, they are two totally different beasts.
Think about this please.
