Thanks. I was pretty torn when I sold the CLK Black last fall, 6 months later, all is right again!

good for cruising.
The C63 BS is an updated CLK BS. It's pretty much a slightly modernized version of the same car, and is even better on the road.

^ I know but it's not pretty
sls is not 300 gull wing but faster and more comfy. I prefer the 300 gull wing

technically it's better for sure

but don't mind me. it's not my car. asking as u like it, it's a great car for you!

the design cue that wrecks the car is the rear quarter window and c-panel, which has been lifted from bmw. front-end is superb, though, as is the engine and the suspension.

This is incorrect. It's not the same platform.

Yea, that's the one thing I miss most from the CLK Black. All 4 windows down, the open feeling was unbeatable. The C Black's rear windows doesn't even open.

Correct, it's the newer platform. The CLK Black was based on the W203 C platform, while the C Black is on the W204 C platform.

I've got a chance to drive her the past few days - it is an absolute beast. Handles more like my M3 but with torque! I have to figure out how to maintain the paint. It looks like a flat black car covered with a hue of green.

Having ridden in Jenks' CLK BS at Road Atlanta a couple of years ago, I can attest to its high level of prowess on track, despite the prodigious weight. Very, very impressive car (and jenks drove it well).
