W203Ramos,

Just checked out your photos in the above web link. Is that last one taken in Boone, NC? That looks an awful lot like a place where my wife's aunt & uncle have a condo in the mountains of NC.

2012 is the last year for the R in the US, mostly due to slow sales. If you find one on a lot you can probably get a good deal on it since they probably want to get rid of it.

BTW, love your CLK63 cabrio! Don't see too many of those around.

NC or NJ, what's the difference, just a few letters right? Must be the same developer, because I would swear it's the same location.
