Opinions please

Hey guys,
I currently have a clk 320 which is will soon be replaced and I have on order an E500. I wasn't fond of the new w209 clk's, so I opted for the W211. Now after seeing a few w209 clk's all done up, I am starting to like it.
For example the brabus clk is starting to get my attention, also my local dealer says they may possibly have the formula 1 clk safety car on display for a couple of days.(Formula 1 week here in Montreal).
What would you guys choose?
Any input is appreciated, and on a shorter note, I do not lose my deposit if I switch cars or cancel the order altogether.
Thanks
derek

Used to be a CLK430
I'm still not a huge fan of the 209, but it has grown on me. The 211's interior is hands-down better, but there are more on the road than the 209. I say 211 with a nice drop and wheels!!!

2001 CLK430
I really like coupes, but am not taken by the w209. I do like the E500, but it looks even more sedate next to the w209. How bout a Starmark W208 CLK55?

The E500 is a sedan, the W209 CLK is a coupe, two different cars.
You have to decide which one you need. I like the CLK with the AMG package and the for exhausts.

Thanks guys for the response

I am simply choosing more for the overall look, not out of necessity(Don't really need size).
The W209 doesn't come with the quad exhaust as the w211

I'd take the Forrmula 1! Well, your post DID read like it was an option (kinda).
I Wish!!

I am leaning more to a new model, rather care for it from the begining, knowing how it's treated....and mainly because it is a new design...having the w208, even tho it is not a 55

Thanks again guys for your input...
