From recent reviews, the current w209 CLK55 is fast enough! uhh, i don't want to see the CLK taillights too fast when i am in my M3!

No, it wouldn't increase $$ because the E55 is the same price with the Kompressor. My guess is that they just don't want it to be that fast.

A bucket on wheels
^^^ why not just take off the LK from the back of the damn car, they made the interior look like the new C class. its not necesseraly a bad thing, actualy it is cuz im pissed that i didn't wait another year to get the refreshed version but what was so great about the old clk was that it was in no way associated to the C class. Anyone who buys the new clk can have a 4 door version with the same engine, same interior, better suspension, and more space for less money. that just doesn't seem right to me. just my .5 cents
(used to be .2 cents but changed due to inflation-->got that from another board member forget who)

Note the climate control on the car is the manual one, they can choose between manual and auto outside the US.

Rear tire width on that car looks kind of skinny for a 55 especially from the angle of the right tire
