Your asking the wrong forum. I (personally) refused to buy the W209 platform (twice! ) because it looks like an old ladies car.

I love the lines of the w208 more than the w209 especially modded but at the end of the day its up to you its your car

If you liked the 208 enough to buy the first time, why not stick with it? They do come in 55 trim also ya know!! The 210 is a completely different animal.

The only 209 worth speaking of is the black series.

TOOK THE WORDS STRAIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH. If you gonna get a w209 the only W209 worth buying is a CLK63 BS nothing else, not even a CLK55. When I was first purchasing a CLK I had a choice between a w208 and w209 and I settled for the w208 because it is not as common as a w209. I SEE THE W209 every where, more than the BMW 3 series (A little over exaggeration...lol...I see the BMW 3 Series everywhere). Moreover, I feel that the w208 has masculine body lines the accent a Mercedes timeless design...if you know what I mean. The w209 looks a little to feminine for me. But, in the end its YOUR LIFE, its YOUR CHOICE, and its YOUR CAR.

dont get me wrong i love my w208 but it just aint fast enough for me no more...

Go for the 05 CLK55.

1. Its a newer car than a w208 clk55.
2. It will more value than a w208.
3. I see w208 clks with cheesy *** rims and cheesy *** people (because its cheaper to get now). Although w208 is still one of my favorites.
4. Its faster than the w208 clk55.
5. You can make any car look good if you do it right.
6. Its your car, your choice

2,3,5,6,and 7 have no factual basis for why the W209 could be better than W208.

Holds more value? The car is more $$ and hasn't aged as much as W208's
Better interior? I'll give u modern, but that doesnt make it better

I reject your argument....come back to our forum with some firepower :-)

but from a W208 CLK320 to a W209 CLK500/CLK55
totally different monsters.

I've tried hard to like the W209 body style, im just glad they re-did it with the C207 which has much better lines.
Serveral friends of mine wanted a CLK but same comment i hear "looks like a chicks car" they opted to E, SLK, and S5. Interesting to see the same comment here on the board.

Yeah! You are right. It really looks like ladies one.
