As the smallest coupe in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the CLK is a relatively good value. With styling that echoes the more expensive CL-Class, the sleek CLK is certainly an attractive hardtop coupe. Engine choices include a 268-bhp 3.5L V-6 (CLK350) and a 382-bhp 5.5L V-8 (CLK550). Both models are equipped with a 7-speed automatic. A dizzying array of options allows customers to personalize their CLK; especially the "designo" packages, which combine interior and exterior trim with a color coordinated theme.

The CLK63 AMG Black Series coupe joins the lineup. A 500 hp V8 is mated to a seven speed transmission. The Black Series coupe also features more agressive bodywork and a height adjustable suspension.
