If you talk to the mechanics and take a good look at a service bay you will understand.
Basically these cars have way to many problems with their computer programs...........THEY SUCK!!
Any real Mercedes Mechanic will tell you that Mercedes Benz is whoring out their cars and just building to damn many models.
They are rushing these cars to prodution and hoping the problems will fix themselves before to many get on the road.
The biggest problems right now are the programs they are writing for the systems.....they are doing way to much, and when you bring it in for service since Mercedes has no answer they just have the techs reset the programs and hope it works for awhile.
Any tech (honest one that is) will tell you don't buy a new one till at least the second model year.
On a personal note I don't like the interior ergonomics of the CLK's and I think Mercedes rushed this one. Look how far they have fallen in complaints per hundred cars sold............shit man they are at the bottom of the list 68 complaints out of a hundred cars is not good quality or workmanship if you consider they had only 22 just five years ago.
Find an old body and enjoy it, if I wanted a nice Cabriolet I would find a old E Class Cab.....that was one sweet looking ride, and the engine is one of the best ones they have built
