New E320 or New CLK320?

ive posted the same message also in the New E Class page

my father is interested in a new car. At first we were gonna get SL500 but since we are a family (My parents, and 1 other brother) we needed something with back seats. We used to live in england and we had an E Class Avantgarde... it had all the options and it was a great car. We all truly loved it. Now that the new E Class has come out, my Father loves it alot. But he also likes the new CLK. And the last CLK had good back seats (enough room to sit in) and i heard they have more room in the newer model. He likes New E but me and my Mother would prefer if he got a CLK320. And i checked on the MBUSA site, and for all the options we had on the avantgarde E (and also a navi system) it is cheaper to get them with the CLK then with the E. What do u suggest we do?


sorry i didnt write it well but i was just typing down everything, i hope u understand

E320
I have an E320 for my wife and a CLK for me. Kids can deal with the backseat when the four door car is in use.

My thought is always have one family car and one fun car.

thats also my thought... we hav an SUV, and we are getting either the new Porsche Cayenne or Lexus GX470... thats our family car. My dad isnt getting any younger, and his fun days are finishing. Which is why he wants the E. What words can i convince him to buy a CLK?

I personally prefer the CLK since it is elegant yet sporty. I think it would be an ideal and practical second car. But if your father is anything like mine, he would still prefer the 'E' regardless what you say.

My only advise is to keep talking to him about the CLK, its high residual etc. Make sure your face glows like crazy when he sits in the CLK at the dealership. Also, dont forget to glare at the salesperson everytime he tries to push the E.

Speaking from experience???

Good luck.
