Wow the CLK looks like a real antique next to the M3. M3 for me please. I didn't know the CLK63 Cabrio had the flat-bottom steering wheel now.

It's an old MB tradition like Artist said above. CLK, E and CLS all have it. I was actually surprised the W204 didn't get it.

Rag top. With a metal folding roof the CLK would be heavy as a caravan.

My eyes go caught on the insane fuel consumption of 18.1L/100km over a 396km long journey. I guess the journalists must have driven it hard.

What are the dashes on the rev counter for? are those shift lights? The M3 is definitely the superior car as the MB is old. still looks pretty though.
