CLK320 Alternative ??

Guys, I just want to know what is your other alternative, if there's long waiting lists for CLK320. ( oh ya, my budget is +- $50000 out of door )

I'm planning to order it on Dec and I don't know whether there is a long waiting list. I'll be moving to Wisconsin or Texas on Dec.

CLK320 (w209)
No wait

I was choosing between 330ci and 320CLK.
Went with the CLK.

Don't think the wait is that long. Went down to the local dealer about two months ago to have a look. They had one available in the color combo i wanted, and drove it home the same day. No wait at all.

Cheers

2003 CLK 320
I LIVE IN WISCONSIN I ORDERED A 2003 CLK 320 ON AUG 26 IT IS OCT 10 AND IT IS NOT IN PRODUCTION YET SALES PERSON THOUGHT IT MIGHT GO IN PRODUCTION END OF OCT. I AM NOT TO SURE IF IT WILL, I HAVE HEARD ONCE IT GOES IN PRODUCTION IT STILL TAKES ANOTHER TWO MONTHS. SO MAYBE I WILL RECIEVE IT FOR CHRISTMAS. THAT WOULD BE A NICE GIFT.
BRITTON


MY SECOND CHOICE OF CAR WOULD BE THE NEW AUDI A4 CABROILET. IT IS ABOUT THE SAME PRICE THAT I AM GOINT TO PAY FOR THE CLK 320. I JUST SAW A SILVER ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP IT LOOKS SHARP BUT DID NOT DRIVE IT. I DID NOT THINK THAT IT WAS A GOOD IDEAL TO DRIVE SINCE I HAVE ORDERED THE CLK 320. MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE MY MIND . NOT

There's definitely no big waiting list in my area - I changed my order about 6 weeks ago and had missed my change deadline by a day and had to completely reorder. I was at the top of the list the day that I reordered (Ie. no wait whatsoever) and my car started production yesterday.

would you consider Audi A6 2.7T as your other alternative ? If no, state your reason why.

It's not ugly at all. It just look more conservative.

How much HP does the Audi 2.7 have? I read the specs were 250 hp, from a 2.7 liter V6. I'm like...whoa! M3 would be nice, only 45,000 base and low 50,000 nicely equipped.

YES, IT IS 250HP .. not bad eh ?? I think A6 is more or less comparable with CLK. What do you guys think ?

Pluses

- Cheaper
- Style not bad
- Nice HP
- Quattro

clk 320 or 500 for that matter have no direct competitors IMO. the 330CI and the G35 coupe are cheaper than the 320 and are not really in the same class. the next luxury coupe is the XK8 which is 20K more than the 320 so that not really competitor either. as far as M3 goes, my take on it is that M3 and CLK's are different cars for different people. I dont think anyone who is in the market for a luxury coupe considers M3 and anyone whose in a market for a sports car/coupe considers a CLK.
