MBWorld Fanatic!
and to quote from the article itself:
......but the shape loses aggression as one moves around to the tapered, more feminine-looking tail with its increasingly generic taillights. The CLK "no longer has the mean DTM silhouette," said one of us. Others saw similarities to the rumps of the Volvo C70 and Acura CL. It's still a handsome shape, but several editors thought it lacks the power-suit authority of the old CLK's freshly pressed creases.

Great article. I remember when C&D (and others) gave the 1998 ML320 a rave review, too. I subscribe to C&D, MT, Automobile, Auto Week, and Auto World. I've yet to see any of these five rags criticize any vehicle made by a company that has a decent adverti$ing budget. Too bad Yugo didn't figure that out or it would have received a nice review, as well. Yugoslavia was Communist back then and apparently didn't have a clue as to how our capitalist system truly works. For some semblance of objectivity, AutoSpies is about as good as it gets.
