i had a clk for a little bit and we traded it for an X5. The car is terrible and I would never even want a ride in one again. The dealership experience is terrible and the interior is very spartan.

But I did ask one question that never got answered. C/D reports the SC430s 0-60 time of 6.7. Why do they get times like this if Lexus claims a time of 5.9?
my major concern is how the hell they got the sc's time of 0-60 in 6.6 and not the lexus claimed 6.6? Whats wrong with them?

The CLK chassis is based on the last gen(94-00) C-class, which is a very poor design. It offers a substandard ride and poor handling. It is an(poorly) aging chassis
No problem

What is the answer to this question had it been worded correctly?

The point is don't ever go solely by what magazines say. Go by what you or your friends get at the track(E.T. 1/4 mile). Occasionally magazines will show real world numbers for there cars but only use that as a second reference. Every car magazines #'s are going to vary(location, temperature, altitude, driver, condition of the vehicle, how the test was done, etc...) so you can't really question why one magazine gets this # and another magazine gets another #.
