CLK63 Cabriolet?

What do you guys think about it? It kinda left the scene when the Black Series rolled in, but I still like it AND it looks like it is one of the faster 63s...(according to dragtimes.com), trapping at 117-118 mph. I'm thinking about one. The only draw back is that it doesn't have quad exhaust, and I really like that. How calm the coupes in Europe have quads? Anyway, would appreciate your opinions.

I would guess that they give up a spare for a can of goo + inflator.

Ragtops suck as a whole. Just my opinion, I don't like convertibles unless they have a hardtop. Especially have no place in a proper sports car, where you need a roof for rigidity.

The only rag would be a 997TT or something exotic IMO.

As for the CLK63 vert, they are about as soft as the CL65. I recently had the chance to buy a new 2007 which invoiced for 90k. My dealer contact, my ties run deep, offered up 59k I still didnt bite- the car is actually quite boring IMO-

of the CLK63 conv.

Why don't you pick up a 335 Conv? Its a hardtop and you can mod the hell out of one.

Yeah man especially in Russia, I bet they don't sell a lot of convertibles in the land of icewater.

I would go for the coupe, if you want a rag top get the Shelby Gt500 and modify the hell out of it.
