well I gotta say its a cool looking car, I've been looking forward to seeing it for a while, but at that price and with its rarity I'd rather trade in my Murceilago for a Ferrari F430 Scuderia (far better in every way).

I dunno, if you like it then you like it, but an exotic Mercedes just does not do it for me.

No I hear you. I probably won't be getting this. However once the list is open here in nca my uncle will be putting down a deposit on one. I do love the CLK Black Series, phenomenal car. I agree with you 100% on the F430, my fav ferrari. I'm iffy when it comes to Mercedes. I loved my 05 CL65 AMG and is to date my favorite mercedes, ever built.

So this will cost only slightly less than the SL65 AMG? If your going to make a black series might as well start at the top.

Doubt it, although the dealer did not give me a specific price.

Performance wise it’s hell of an improvement comparable to any other supercar and looks are fabulous.

I guess that a few have speculated that it would be over 300k, I edited my last post because I found the thread and a few comments.
