yeah it's definitely base off the c class. but then we have the normal clk320 and the clk430, so i think that makes the difference, coz' you don't see v8 version of the c class. so that's why i thin it's more of an e class than c class

They already have a four door M3...it's called an M5.

IS460...don't see that coming at all...maybe IS500

no, on e36 they had 4 door m3. imho m5 is not 4 door m3, they are totally different. if i really have to say, i think the m5 is a even better master piece of art

my impression is that benz's have always been more expensive than their competitors, but i think they've just simply lost their ablility to command that premium anymore.

CLK55 is the worst buy ever! I will be bold and say that's Including any normal or sport divison model from any mainstream automaker.

C55 and CLK55 are the same cars indeed. Yet CLK costs $20g more to start with.
