Show me a picture of the Cab please. I like it, too bad I won't buy the first year of any MB. Guess the old workhorse is gonna have to last at least 2 more years unless I get an SL before then.

Actually......I hope this is the new body. That way I won't be mad for sticking with the W209 body style....or with getting a CLK63 W209!!! This new body makes the W209 look like a dream car!!!

I don't believe that's how the next CLK will look like. The auto press don't even know what the new C-class (W204) will look like and that car is supposed to appear in the auto show in September of this year. Furthermore, I don't think Mercedes would camouflage their C-class test cars and not do the same to their CLK test cars.

I think the article is flawed, it say's the CLK is marginally cheaper to produce than a regular C Class?? Since when is a pillar-less coupe less expensive to make than a sedan, not to metion all the extras you get in a clk vs a c class coupe....

Now, when you add-on a full Brabus Kit, that really accentuates the W209's lines. But stock, especially to all the folks I run into here in SoCal, hands-down the W208 has a more masculine and muscualr look compared to the W209.

Personaly i like the 208 body... I think this and the 209 look very "Asian" Where the 208 looks more Muscle car. I'd like to see MB do a retro '05 SLK look to the CLK... like a bigger SLK but still a hot rod.
