Those Merc f@#kers tricked me! I knew all along they should've called it the ELK 55 AMG!

Er, seriously now, no way, the CLK clearly resembles the C-Class more, especially in front of the A-pillar where it is near identical to a C55. The tail-lights at the back are where any resemblance to E-Class ends.

I'm absolutely certain. One of the key things for me is the shape of the roofline and the proportion of DLO to sheetmetal in the E90 vs E92. The downward arc of the swage line is similar too.

In contrast the A5 has a completely different (and very un-Audi-like) roofline, it's DLO is much much shallower and the wavy S-like crease is quite unlike that of the A4's simpler yet more defined one.
