CLK320 goes 0-60 mph in 7.4 sec, which then means 0-100 km/h in 7.5.

Yes Honda accord is faster than the CLK320, but then again what would you rather drive?

.........Actually the 0-100 time for the W209 CLK is 7.9 secs and the 0-60 time is 7.4 secs as you stated.

i guess you read that at a magazine or somewhere, but it just doesn't make any sense that to increase the speed from 60 mph to 62 mph any car is going to take half a second (0.5 secs), specially if yo are already accelerating as on a 0-62 mph test.

Ter - Pocholin is referring to the times it will take the car to go 0-100 KMPH and not mph... that's why his time is just a second over the 0-60 mph time....

Yes, in metric system we measure 0~100 km/hr,as pocholin mentioned usually 0.5 sec more than 0~60 mph.
Quarter mile is an equal index no matter feet or meter used
we use 0~400 m as long as quarter mile in western.

Why are we bringing back this argument? I thought we put this debate to rest a few weeks ago, or was I dreaming? I think it is hard to compare one element of a car without including all the other factors as well (Safety for example). All those people who buy the Accord over the W209, just because it goes faster, have other issues to deal with as well. Besides, we do have speed limits in this country the last I checked and Police just love giving tickets to those "Rice Rockets". I'LL TAKE THE W209 ANY DAY OVER THE ACCORD!!!!!!

2001 320 CLK
Who cares rather a Honda is faster than a CLK? If you have a Honda perhaps you should check out a Honda forum. I think most CLK owners love their cars and could care less about what a Honda can or can't do.

Why do people have to speak of the Honda Accord as though owning one is some sort of disease. Motortrend tested the 2003 Accord V6 at 6.56sec for 0-60. As far as safety goes, Accord and Civic are among the safest vehicle tested. And one of the "other issues" that people who buys an Accord rather than a CLK320 have to deal with is having an extra 30K in their pocket. Love your Benz but no need to diss a cheaper but more reliable and dependable car like the Hondas. And yes I do own an Accord and I think it's the best value for the money out of all the cars i've ever bought.

i've been driving an accord for the las 10 hours and it is a nice car, and for the money it is a nice gang. this is a 2002 and it has pretty good response (service loaner, my E55 is in service)

..............in fairness to the W209 CLK 320, If the accord V6 actually does 0-60 in 6.56 secs as was stated previously in this thread..........then the Accord is both faster than both the W209 CLK320(0-60mph 7.4secs) and the W208 CLK320(0-60mph 6.9secs).
