Question WHEN & WHERE will new CLK be Officially Introduced? At what AUTOSHOW?

There is a LOT of info/speculation re new CLK.

CLK55
my guess "geneva"

that is where they have done the past CLK intros (though I think it was Detroit when they announced the 55 was coming state side)

Scheduled for the Paris Auto Show September 28th.

But you will definitely see the body style way before that....at the latest April 21 at Hockenheim at the openning round of the DTM series. MB will be running the 2002 CLK DTM with the new W209 body. I am sure that more shots of it testing will appear very soon. I posted one long ago on the w208 thread.

Yep that's the one...

A classic been ruined???

that's what makes it a classic...!

I've noticed something with MB's....it seems as though when people see the spy shots of new cars, the first reaction is negative...but when the car appears in the flesh...it usually quite distinctive and attractive.

Yeah... I agree...the design of the W208 is something special...too bad the rest of the chassis does not quite live up to it's looks...
I think and hope that most people will be pleasently surprised with the actual car...certainly MB has addressed the many of the chassis issues
