well, it has a mix between the two, the CLK has almost the same spedometor, the CLK where the alarm blinker buttons are is almost the same as the C class, everything below is very much like the E class, but unlike the E class, the C class has a square'ish look much like the CLK class, as appose the E class which has that curve from the center and out.... the CLK's center middle dash where the shifter is is almost the same as C class.

Judging by the part numbers .... everything you can see in the 2004 CLK is the same as everything you can see in a 2004 C. Excluding the steering wheel and instrument cluster and some door trim.

You mean to say that a pair of seats and improved suspension are worth $20,000. Well in that case I have a conventional rear view mirror here I could let go for $5000.

No CLK of any kind of anywhere is a E Class or anything like a E Class. In MB History there have 2 REAL E Coupes! The 124 was a real E Coupe and the C238 E Class. Everything else is just a C Coupe. The CLK W209 is a C Coupe. It always has been. It looks, feels, drives, breaks, handles, rides just like the W203 it is based on. I have owned 3 CLK’s and a W203 C and they even share parts. Many shared parts. The interiors are nearly identical.

I own a 2005 CLK55 AMG and it is a W203 C Class. The CLK55 and C55 even share parts.
