Looks a lot better than a non AMG CLK. The front resemble the CL a little bit. Too bad the picture is a bit dark and hard to see it nice and clear. I like the current CLK design though. IMO

2002 Capri Blue CLK Cab
Smile New AMG

It's growing on me, it looks pretty good but I picked up my 02 430 Cab and I really like the looks of the 208. I did put a deposit on a 03 430 Cab just in case I like it but we'll see.

Is it final that AMG will have a 55 for CLK? There are rumors that MB will put a V6 compressor in the next AMG CLK.

The picture looks fantastic!! As far as power, I also thought that AMG was using a V6 Kompressor, with the 32 tag ie CLK32. Otherwise, that car looks powerful. Much better than the non-AMG version.

I dont understand why AMG has to make every AMG vehicles with the same front and rear apron design. It's getting boring to look at all AMGs with the same/similar body kit. Dont you think so?

Yes, it has been confirmed that the AMG CLK will be a 5.4L V8.

My comment:

The new CLK55 AMG will have 16-20 more HP and according to MB will accelerate 0-100 km in 5.2 seconds.

That translates into 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds. That is exactly the time ascribed to the current CLK55 AMG!

This is the first picture I've seen where the car looks good. But again, are these real???

Also, it's all in the way you take the picture... A good photographer can make any girl look like a model :p

2003 CLK's

I do NOT like the new CLK models. And now that I might get one, it makes me mad that they are changing the models. They do not look good in my opinion. The back has a short end, it resembles the C-Class Coupe...which is by far the worst MB design out there right now. They are making the CLK look like a "lighter" car...instead of making it make look "meaner" and more powerful.

Here are more pics of the 2003 CLK:

once look of the first rearquarter pic and I get flashbacks of the Volvo C70

Harris, agree with you re: AMG kits. They are all too much alike. They even like to use the same wheels for different models, not that they don't look good, but yes, it does get boring.
