If you put rims on it and tint it up you'll pull it off. If it was a 320 with that weak stock bodykit then I'd say forget it.

if it's the car you want, why should you care what other people think of it?

The only real question is: do you like it in white? If the answer is yes, go for it. Whoelse should care?

Agreed!

..................And the guy who did my exhaust has one in white. That thing is a bad *** car.
He has Brabus rims, eibach pro kit (lowered 1.2") and a dual exhaust.
Nasty.... I like it better in white than my iridium silver.

On Friday morning I drove from downtown LA to Santa Monica. As the 8 miles took about 1/2 hour I had the time to count five convertible CLK's passing on the other side of the freeway: 3 out of the 5 were driven by men. I noticed that convertible BMW's were also in the 50/50 range for men and women. I can't see the CLK as being just girly.

i heard the "white is girly" thing too but it looks awesome. lower it a tad and some wheels maybe sport front bumper and itll be perfect.

Convertibles always look good in white, gives 'em that Florida sunshine or California Hollywood look. Question is, how much use of a convertible can you get in Connecticut?

I would guess less than in California but more than in Florida (too hot).
I'd rather put the roof down when it is cold than when it is hot. Above, say 28°C, I close the roof and enjoy the AC.

Don't listen to anyone. Just get what you want. "girly"? F that. You'll be driving a Benz and everyone else can go screw.
