A subtle changes range from interior trims, grills, electronic, to engine update. http://www.mercedes-benz.com/mbcom/international/international_website/en/com/internationa- l_home/home/products/passengercars/clk-class/clkclasscabriolet.html |

Well, I've been waiting and waiting for someone to post some info about the CLK2006 but no one has. Well I went and got the information myself. Anyway, here is what I was able to uncover. If anyone has any other infomation please feel free to add it. MY2006 CLK-Class Face-lift Key Product Features Prodcut Enhancements - CLK350 3.5L V6 engine with 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque 25% more horsepower and 13% more lb-ft of torque than the outgoing 3.2L engine 7-speed driver adaptive transmission All-new 17" 5-splite spoke staggered width wheels More aggressive front apron with larger intakes Product Enhancements- CLK 500 AMG chrome-tipped dual exhaust More sporty interior featuring: Black Ash wood trim, single-tone seats and sportier instrument cluster The standard interior for MY05 with Burl Walnut wood trim will remain as a no-cost option Product Enhancements-ALL Models Striking new front grille Re-designed high brilliance tall lamps and brake lamps Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination- New ooptional equipment Electronic Trunk closer- New optional equipment Changes to Opotional Equipment To ease dealer trades, stand alone options have been reduced by 5 from model year 2005 to 2006 and more value added options packages have been created. Standard equipment offerings have been re-evaluated with a focus on supporting the sporty positioning of the CLK while being mindful of competitor product offerings. The following equipment is now optional: Auto-dimming mirrors-(CLK350) Garage Door Operner- (CLK350) Rear Side Airbags- (CLK350 & CLK500) Premium Sound- (CLK350 & CLK500) Heated Windshield Washer Reservoir- (CLK350 & CLK500) I hope this helps somebody!!! |

..the CLK cabriolet doesn't have anything that remotely represents a sport package with a sprot tuned suspension, short throw 6 speed manual and other handling enhancements. I am getting dangerously close to spending $90k to $100k for a new 911 or 911s Cabriolet because it is the only sports car that gives me the option of a mini rear seat for my daughters. For whatever reason, the M3 just feels too much like a sedan. On the other hand, it's probably unrealistic to think that Mercedes will ever make "sport" a priority. After testing the $55k SLK against the $32k S2000 and $62k Boxster S, it comes in a distant last place as far as driving dynamics, albeit an improvement over the previous generation.

Replying to: habitat1 (Jul 04, 2005 7:57 am) Well they did add a sport suspension option for 2006, but that manual tranny didn't make it.... M |
