Just ran into this review... http://www.askmen.com/toys/cars/car4.html
How many of you guys know women who drive CLK's?

Women in my city mostly drive SUVs and Minivans.
Boy, if its true these women must be hot!

Would definitevely like to meet a few...

My co-worker's wife almost got a clk55. They decided to wait for the 63.. She's still debating if she wants to pull the trigger.

correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this article about CLK 320?
so saying half of all CLK 320 owners in the US would be much more accurate. I'm willing that it is a higher percentage male ownership in USA of the 430's & 55's.

The other CLKs in my building (209 55 and 209 350) are driven by women. I drive *according to my female friend* a 'beautiful' white car

I guess they like 'em...
