This is as best as I could translate it....a few notes, not torque figure on the new 55 and I wonder if the clk cab which is staying the same for one more year body wise will get the 500 engine in place of the 430....I doubt it, but anything is possible I guess

thats 37,000 euros and the may introduction is for europe

Hugeness

According to the Bloomberg Currency calculator -

37,000 Euro = $32,160 USD

How can this be? I thought they were moving the car upmarket. Maybe this is for some micro engine that we here in the US never see. Any thoughts on what engines we are going to see in the US besides the 320 and 500 (and AMG55)?

Thanks

CLK 320

I'm sure your guess is right, I remember at least two engines that are smaller than the 320 that the U.S. will never see. We will also never see the diesel.
