Do it. The CLK cabs are one of the best looking cars on the market with the top down. 
Plus the AMG styling on the 500 makes the car look much more agressive.
I think the top up is better than the coupe too since it doesn't make the car look like it has a huge butt.

I actually thought about the CLK500 cab last year, almost brought it too but the SLK's hardtop and manual transmission sway me towards it. CLK's interior is much nicer IMO.

2004 Silver CLK500
This Interior is NICE...
Go for it. CLK500 is a just a great car, and with a Convertible top down, it is just a stunning sight.
What exactly is this Interior Color Combo? Is it custom or stock. This is the first time that I am seeing it in a CLK.

In the end, I opted for the CLK Coupe. However each to their own and I"m coming off the topic.

Cheaply made compared to the old SLK. lol.. 9 out of 10 ppl will tell you that it's a great improvement from the older version. The r170 interior looks like barbie (plastic), hence cheap, I would never considered the r170, smaller, girly looking, just not for me. Each to their own is correct.
I'm 28 with the CLK.. but hell I'd have a SL class over this.
Here in Europe, or the Netherlands in particular, woman drive mainly SLK's.
But it depends how you look at it. Larger cars are not for older guys! Otherwise I gotta wait to my 40's should I ever buy a Ferrari!
Anyways, each to their own opinion.
