Cool CLK article in Road and Track

The August issue of R&T has an article on the CLK 320 and CLK 500 on page 37. It is very favorable. Some snipets:


"The US gets two CLK models. At around $44,000 is the CLK 320..... For the best $6,000 in the business you can upgrade to the CLK 500....

But the CLK 500 is a bit of a wonderful car, offering entertainment, security, satisfaction, and particularly for a coupe accommodation....

A sweet piece--better get you name on the CLK list now because folks will be lining up for them."

Regards,


Michael T.

You're right. From what I've heard, $52,000 is going to be the base price for the CLK500. When you start adding a few options, you'll be at $60,000 before you know it.

yeah i think the command navigation, k2 & k3 package will put the option list to 5k, not to forget sales tax and few other stand alone option like like heated seats, cd changer etc. I think 60k is about where it's gonna be... damn that's a lot of dough to be spending on a car, almost close to 911 base model price. HMMMM
