The cars were mechanically identical, despite the 88 lb. difference as shown on the MBUSA website. 0-60 shows 5.2 for the '01 and 4.9 for the '02, but I think this is an error. Where AMG saved 88 pounds is unknown to me.
The differences I found over the years have included:
There was one safety feature added on the '02 (emergency truck release); one option fitted as standard (ski sack); and one cosmetic difference (chrome-trimmed hubcaps).
Exclusive leather interior was dropped as an option for '02, but designio was available both years.
Also, the cabriolet was only offered one year...in '02.

No, just the CLK430 cabrio (model year 2003). The W208/55-cab was only available for model year 2002. Some may have sat on dealer lots and sold in '03, but they were '02s.
