I have to say the CLK might be outdated against the Audi A5 and BMW 3er coupe / convertible, but it still looks very classy and somewhat sporty too.

Give me the CLK63 even though I don`t like this class of droptops..

The sheer weight of the M3 convertible is a joke, what the heck, it weighs almost as much as an M5 and is quit a bit slower than the CLK63. The looks also don`t cut for me.. look like a top hat.

Come on GTA, for once pick a M despite the weight the E93 is the better car . At least admit that ?
E93 isnt using a cloth top thats why its heavy. To be correct its 150 kg more than the M3 Coupé. Also better suited for all wheather drive than a convertible with cloth roof.

Not really, with a lower weight the CLK is more agile, great advantage when cornering.

look at the stats + handling and slalom points the M3 E93 has the fastest laptime, highest slalom speed and the highest points. CLK might have lower weight but its a very old car, next CLK will most highly be more heavy than current CLK. Only noticeable advantage current CLK have is the bigger and more powerful engine.

Just becuase a car weigh 80 kg less it doesnt mean its more agile. Its not like we are comparing two cars from year 2008.

It`s way too earily to tell JM, even if it will be heavier it will have much better
driving dynamics to boot. The latest Merc -AMG models are indeed closing the performance gap with overall performance with every new model coming.

I will admit that the performance is good.

That might be so but the CLK doesn`t have issues with it`s cloth top.
It just manages to look way better imo.
