He mentions the three problems with the car:

1) You have to live where it doesn't rain because just a touch of throttle will bring the back end around.
2) You have to live near an autobahn, preferably one that has only light traffic because this car is almost too fast for the street.
3) It's sold out.

No doubt, it's a trait of the CLK apparently. the first day I got mine I ended up sideways at 15 mph trying to negotiate a very low speed turn onto a side road.

Nothing...as usual. They'll probably come up with something close enough.

Great video find DASHOCKER.

I love that front end profile, wish their German was slightly clearer as I could only make out certain parts. My German is more Swiss.
