Maff

Just got back and downloaded the pictures. I’ve given a quick explanation of the images below, so reference my remarks with the picture numbers. Click on the thumbnail for the large image.
All the photo’s of the new CLK are disguised, but as mentioned before, I’ve seen it un-disguised inside the factory, and it looks the same, except the front and rear masks were removed.

I’ll try and do a write up over the weekend with all the details, but seeing as I didn’t take her with me, I better go and try to please the girlfriend.

Bravo Mr. Ambassador!

Pix #20 shows interior of 2003 CLK which is (seems) identical in layout to the 2002 CLK.

Many thanks.

Thank you for pics. Nice job.

CLK is however looks like going to be disappointment.

I have the CLK 500 Cabrio on order since April 2001.

I will just wait and see...

Maff, are you sure about the soft top, instead of hardtop?

Thanks

krm

no offense, but first glimpse of the prototype CLK reminds me very much of the volvo C70
