Agreed.

Also, the CLK isn't a true sports car. It was designed to be a luxury cruiser with sporty pretensions, and it can be driven sporty. Of course, if you have professional sportscar drivers (like the guys who work for EVO) drive it around, you'll hear nothing but complaints. Too soft, no sporty enough etc.

They never take into consideration what the car was made to do. And that's my gripe with most car magazines these days.
