Before I give my reason why I don't upgrade my C55 to CLK63. I would love to know why I hear no C55 owners go for the CLK63?
Thanks

Because we want the coop not the cab and the coop is not available in the US. Plus isn't the w209 body style being replaced in 08?

I'd MUCH rather have a coupe than a cab.

Plus who has 90 gs just sitting there waiting to be used?

My reasons are about the same but we can order both coupe and cab here.

I suggest you guys also check out the E and CLS sections on the forum. Many members are unhappy with their 6.3 engine because it does not put down advertised HP numbers and is not nearly as fast as their old 5.5 supercharged engines. Some are even threatening class-action suit, although I doubt it will happen. Keep in mind that this is the fully tuned, "500hp" engine and not a detuned version I'm talking about. If I were you, I would just supercharge your cars and they will most likely be a lot faster than the 6.3 engine.

May i conclude all the models getting 6.2 litre engine are market disasters ? Who in MB were fired ? Any press , rumours ? The loving baby SLK55 does not get a 6.2 too.

Well there was the big controversy over the HP, but wasn't it established that the engine is *really* close to performance to the 5.4 SC?

I agree with the others, I would be much more interested if there was coupe. Are really ask myself why the hell AMG decided not to sell the CLK63 Coupe in North America.

What about the loss of two doors? I would have a CLK55 right now if I didn't need those other doors.

/would rather have a coupe as well
//lives in Minnesota (brrrr)

probaby because the next step up from the c55 is the e55 remaining w/ four doors...

Whats the deal with no coupe!

Locally here, I have seen price quotes of CLK63 Coupe/Cab and I can order them. But the dealer has not updated their site and I can still find CLK55 there. What that means, in 2006, we can still order C55/CLK55. MB has no intention to replace the CLK55 with CLK63. So CLK63 is only treated as a special order item.

I'm pretty sure the C55 is still available for MY2007 in most markets in the world, EXCEPT North Amreica. The CLK55, however should not be in production anymore, as the CLK63 should be replacing it EVERYWHERE in the world. If HK is still selling CLK55's, it may be because of old inventory, or just lack of updating on their webiste.

i will check if clk55 is still on sale. cheers

It's too much money (way too much). I think they are sweet but not for $90,000. For that much money I would take a Porsche 911 C4 or even Dodge Viper.

cntlaw

I thought about this too.
But we know it, we will never be satisfied with a C2

PC,
CLK 55 is no longer sale here.

I do not see the point of not offering the CLK63 coupe in the US.

However, a few months ago, I had the opportunity to check out a brilliant silver CLK63 convertible at a local dealership. The car looked stunning. The interior quality was exceptional, and the upgraded bodywork made it a subtly aggressive looking car. Ironically, there was a C55 adjacent to it (along with a CLS63). The C55 is very sharp looking machine, but I just couldn't keep my eyes off the drop-top CLK63.

Something about the CLK63 outperforming the high priced AMGs...

But goddamned, I really want one of those Coupes. The CLK63 looks amazing!
