greetingz,
Very interesting!

Do you have any numbers, perhaps breakdown by 208 CLK 320, 420, AMG - coupe/cab?

i think we need to analyze this from a relative standpoint since there are considerably more w203s out on the market compared w208s....

According to my Automotive Sales resources... tracking all sales data from when both models coexisted (2001-2002), we have the following data.

2001-2002 C-Class Sales: 115,235
2001-2002 CLK-Class Sales: 36,674

Thats a ratio of about 3.14:1

W203 Posts: 103,936
W208 Posts: 28,414

Thats a ratio of about 3.65:1

So, the numbers are pretty close. The only thing is that the W208 forum includes model years dating back to 1998.
