Ultimately there will be an evolution to a larger high hp engine in the CLK. Of course, the price will increase in concert with higher output.
The CLK is a larger vehicle than the 3 series. It will have more power but probably always be about $15-$20K more.
Seems like there is no ceiling on power anymore. Throughout the 70's and 80's you would see yearly increases of 8 to maybe 15 hp every other year. Now, HP jumps by a 100 ponies in a year. 400HP for performance 4 door sedans and 500HP for performance cars is the state of the art. Wonder what will be happening in two years? 600 HP and $6 a gallon gas? Who knowz?

As W209 in its mid life, the CLK 2006 just received a facelift. I thought now is the best time to buy it than waiting.The new M3 E90 never has a known schedule date, a M3 is never as luxury as a classy Mercedes CLK so I would not think a M3 will match your class and taste because you said you want something luxury and sporty.
BTW, do these Adidas shoes you are wearing have a 3 slates star grill on it and powered by a 367hp V8 engine ?
