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.

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. | | | | |
