Question Top Gear video for W209 CLK55??

I tried searching for one, but none came up, but I thought that I'd still ask if anyone was aware of a Top Gear video for the 209 CLK55. Is it just me, or does it seem like the W209 CLK55 is pretty much ignored by the automotive press?


Best regards,
Matt

Thats because typical automotive press does their comparisons on a cost basis. And the CLK55 is much more expensive than the cars they are typically testing it against so the CLK500 or CLK320 get used instead. Top gear did a review of the W208 CLK55 and loved it when it came out. I don't think they've done one of the W209 that I remember.
