2005 CLK 320
Two CLK's or just plain crazy??

Currently I have a 2005 CLK 320 that my fiance uses more than me so we've come to the conclusion that the car is pretty much hers. So now I'm looking for another car, but the problem is that I really like the CLK. Would it be crazy to get another CLK? A CLK 500 for that matter. To have a his and hers, so to speak. I've searched for other potential cars and would love to have the CLS but it's a little out of my price range. The SLK is too small and would like to stay Mercedes or European. Was thinking about the 5 series but not that fond of the BMW interior. Looks too plain or simple for me but could get used to it. The Cayman is coming out but don't like to buy first year vehicles because the bugs haven't been worked out yet. Any suggestions or should I just bite the bullet and get another CLK? Decisions, decisions.

How about an S4 cab? Audi's always have killer interiors. My first choice would be an M3 cab though

Im not sure the Cayman will be worth the premium over the boxster. Pretty much it's the same car.

Do it. You know why? Because you can. If the CLK is the only car you're completely satisfied then get it. But I would still give anyother cars you are considering at least a test drive.

if the a new CLS is just a little too expensive get one that has come back from say a 6mnth lease.
