CLK 63 black, is it the best?

Hi, I got a video of Clarkson for Christmas, only played it last night.
He is looking for the best super car, with the most fun.
He starts with Maserati,Alfa Romeo,Zonda, Aston, and then goes on through Porsche and Ferrari. Guess what comes out best!!
you guessed it the 63 black, I suppose him owning one has nothing to do with it.
Still, it's nice to see Mercedes on top.

well considering they are already almost $50k off sticker price, they are now competing with totally different cars then originally intended. They are going on ebay for $80-90k for 2008 w/ very low miles.

Makes them even more of a bargain, personally I think the CLK is the weakest AMG.

The guys in the BS forum sure think they are the best. Don't mention to them their car is dropping like a brick. They get real mad when you say that.

Until you've driven one, it's hard to understand. Many people just look at it as a CLK body with the run-of-the-mill 6.2L AMG motor. But a car is not just about it's engine...hardly. The chassis and engine combo of the car delivers a very lethal competitor. And at current market prices, this is one of the best bang-for-the-bucks out there! So is the best? I don't think it's "the best" overall, but all things considered, I would have to agree it's one of the best.
