If both cars are ordered with the the same package ( Elegance or Avantguard) then they will look identical from the front.

Headlights would both be the same.The only difference would be the size of the wheels.

The 2003 CLK 320 will become what is known as an orphan when the CLK 350 comes out. I would not buy what would be the lowest performance CLK. Remember the w208 (1998-2002) CLK 320 weighed 300 pounds less.

a little different in appearance & interior
Elegant : grey grill, green tint glass, wooden trim
Avantgarde : black grill, blue tint glass, Al pattern trim
and Elegant comes up a non-sport chassis.

In the states, your agent may customize it
(1) The trims, wooden is more popular than Al pattern
(2) US lineup with Avantgarde baseline.

"Elegant" is always for lower level, e.g CLK200k , CLK240
sales in Asia, Europe....

In the states
Your lineup are CLK320 & 500, baseline is setup to "Avantgarde"
plus wooden trims (only in the US)
if you prefer an Elegant, I guess you need to special order it
at no cost.
