CLK
This doesnt look too good to me. I mean on the picture ! I hate this idea since I was waiting for this model but I like the new coupe better and the old clk cabriolet. So I will wait the official presentation of the new CLK before I replace my 208. So it shoulb be the current cabriolet or the new coupe.. any thoughts

sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
Hope that's not the final design

The oversized rib on the side view somehow looks out of place on the Cabriolet. The rear view is a great improvement over the coupe version of the new model. The front is A-OK on both cab and coupe since it rather successfully emulates the front of the new SL.

Any confirmatiion that there will in fact be a folding hardtop as in the SLK and SL for the cabriolet, and that 4-matic will be an available option on the CLK Cabriolet?

I can only confirm the RUMORS, that the new CLK Cabrio (A209)
gets a vario-roof (folding hardtop), but it is NOT yet sure,
because actual spyshots only show a soft-top dummy (just that
dummy which is used with the new SLK R171).

The Possibility for a 4 seater was shown by the German cabrio-
specialist "Karmann" with the current CLK A208 at the IAA 1999
in Frankfurt/Germany - they used a 3-part vario-roof for the CLK.
