I can honestly say ive been wanting to get this car since 2005. Finally got a chance to get one. Had it for a probably a month or so now and absolutley admire the cars performance. Still on the fence with the airmatic though. Since I sold my CLK a few years back, I must say its good to be back to the MBW family. Let the fun begin! Heres a cell phone shot from today..

Looks just like my 05, except you have the stock rims, which I prefer. I got my 55 when my CLK500 got rear ended. The leather in the 55 is much nicer, but I really miss the nimbleness of the CLK.
