I think the rims look great, I;m glad the didnt use the standard 18in 5 spoke design that we get here in the US, the euro spec 19in multi spoke design looks much better imho.
The 5 spokes always covered so much and looked bulky, I like how you can see the calipers now.
And I think it does have the new 7sp MCT thats in the sls and maybe also in the new e63 but not sure on that last bit

Not bad. Red doesn't help. Seats seem too hardcore for an MB. If I want that hardcore, I'd go with a different marque.
Rear fenders should be fatter, like the fronts (hot!).
Red stitching throughout and belts are a nice touch.
Window frame still looks like an Accord.

I wish the had a better pic of the back end.
But if you read the article it says its supposed to way 50lbs less then standard Coupe, and the also say its not gonna be as hardcore as the old one. which i find that hard to believe when it looks like it has no backseat (despite what the article says) recaro seats and lightweight 18 wheels.
and pricing is understandable its less then what the old one was, My dad was gonna by the old clk black new a few years back and the were asking 120k ish maybe a little less so I duno

CLK DTM> CLk Black Series > C63 Black Series.
I hope this car can really rival the M3 which I love, I just hope the put in as much effort in to the handling as the did the power of this car.
The complaint I always here is this car is soo oversteer happy its ridiculous.
But like Mo said I think the old black series is a much sexier car, the line more fluid, but I think they did a great job with what they had to deal with.
I'm Glad you enjoy Sam's great place to hangout and have a cold one over the summer heat wave we have had recently
