Does anyone know when the clk 350/550/63 will be released? I know most likely not at the same time and what will mb do with the naming because w209 + 1 = w210 = <2003 E-class?

Is seriously doubt it will be in the next 3 months. More likely it will be introduced in the next model year in the summer or phased in next year.

This months Merc Enthusiast says that September production will see the CLK recieving the 350 engine together with significant styling changes. This is it boys the 2006 model is one the way !

BTW W210 already exists, its the 1996-2001 E-Class !

sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
All but a new model

Reportedly the new styling changes will mostly be to the front. It is claimed that the headlights will end up more closely resembling the CLS. Surely someone has seen a prototype? Of course, since the 2006 will not be a new major model change there probably is less need to have it out on the roads for testing and spy shot susceptibility. The reason this will end up as a "major' styling change may well have to do with the new front impact standards that go into effect for 2006. Since the new 350 engine will be replacing the 320 come August/September production, it looks like Mercedes will be marketing the 2006 CLK as something more than just an evolutionary changed CLK.

Anyone heard though whether the 2006 CLK Cabrio will be delayed beyond August/September production?

The C350 is due here this spring so I'd imagine the CLK will be too or at the very latest in July when the 06's first arrive. The 6.3 is a ways off 1 year+/-.
