Hey Shine, I am also from Taiwan, nice to meet you.
Do you happen to live around the Tian Mu area in Taipei? I live there and I've seen a few C32s, Brabus C32s and even SL55 from time to time.
The new CLK is awesome, can't wait till you post some pics.

The sales drove it 100+ km to my house when I'm out of office.
744 + 828, you know the color precisely now.
(1) Dual-HID shining well when my car was coming.
(2) V8 sounds great !
(3) Bose Hi-Fi , better than my C32's, I don't know why yet.
(4) Sport chassis, in between my C32 & Brabus C320
Stiffer than C32AMG & softer than Brabus.
(5) The Torque is not bad, compare it to the C32, wait until Kleemann is on it.
(6) Distronic is good,especially there's a little traffic, rest you
foot always.
(7) Keyless go,need never find the key in the deep of your pocket
just press the start & go. (meanwhile hold the brake)
press twice, it's off.
(8) PTS, already familiar with it on C32.
(9) Oh, quiet when cruising, even it has no frame from a sedan.
(10) Time to bed.....

Knowing that Hong Kong and Taiwan have high living standards, I am curious about the following:
I recall seeing a MB official website in English for Hong Kong recently.
Is there one for Taiwan? If so, is everything the same?...prices, models, options.
If not, what are the main differences.

99' CLK320
Karl,
In Taiwan, people need to paid double the price in US to get like CLK320. That is average price for imported car under 3600c.c.. If you get like CLK500 the price will go sky-high. For example, I get my CLK320 in US for $48000 comparing with Taiwan for $87000. The people live in US is much luckier than some countries. Here is the official Mercedes-Benz website in Taiwan [URL=http://www.mercedes-benz.com.tw/].

Jerry, warranty 1 year from the dealer.Very funny thing is : extend to 2 years if I have it kleemanized.
Actually I'm doing well home work,study material as possible
as I can, practice car tunning with a lot of members,
W209/V8 is the excellent "platform"
I choosed to get it powered over 500 HP.
About the definition of "Rich" , knowing little(nothing) about models he(she) is going to buy.
Drop in the show room and quote about the "most exotic" cars
be served as VIP, paid in cash, whatever, there's a few here in
Taiwan and all over the world =====> Not me !!
