Overview
2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK63 AMG Cabriolet Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
The CLK is Mercedes-Benz's mid-level premium coupe and convertible line. Although the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK costs significantly more than its competition, the company believes the brand's name and engineering excellence command the higher price. Styling, performance and luxury hold strong sway with consumers in these market categories, and the CLK Coupe and Cabriolet are prime examples. The CLK Coupe stands out from the few others in this segment by touting a pillarless hardtop design and a stunning profile. Where the CLK350 and CLK550 clearly place luxury above any really serious performance ambitions, the 475-horsepower CLK63 AMG and 500-horsepower AMG Black Series make no bones about their intentions. True driving enthusiasts, however, may turn to Audi or BMW, as the CLK63 AMG still is not offered with the choice of a manual transmission.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
If you wish the E-Class Sedan were available in coupe or convertible form, the CLK is about the closest you're going to get, short of a custom job. A rigid body, firm ride and well-insulated soft top (on the Cabriolet) await the CLK's lucky owners. There aren't many rivals in this price range, making the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK a rather exclusive vehicle. The high price tag for the Cabriolet and V8-powered models is the only negative on our radar screen. In true two-door fashion, the CLK offers little in the way of rear-seat legroom and a manual transmission is not offered on any model.
What's New for 2008
The limited-production 500-horsepower CLK63 AMG Black Series Coupe joins the line.
