I saw one!!

A new CLK on RT17 Saddle River. I couldn’t make out the badge but it was definitely a new CLK! At first I thought it was a CL500 (Piller-less glass), But upon further observation it was a new CLK. The car looks lower, wider, and more substantial than the current CLK. The car looked expensive. I hate to say this, but after seeing the new CLK, the current model looks old. The car was probably being evaluated by MB USA. I live near MB USA headquarters located in Montvale NJ. I’m going there armed with my Digicam tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted.

Black. My guess is that it was a CLK500.

I think we should get together and raid the headquarters. I live 10 minutes from there.

I see one every time I visit my local Mercedes-Benz dealer
I know, that's not funny But I'd just like to tell you: it's looking
much better in real life than on any pictures posted here or
somewhere else!

regards from Germany,
Benny


PS: I'm sorry, I do not own a digi-cam, so I'm not able to post pictures
from the CLK 320 at my local dealer (www.autohaus-zimmermann.de)
