OK, I will not be buying a car this expensive for a while, but everytime I compare the CLK55 to the E55 the CLK seems not worth the price. The two largest factors for this are both performance characteristics; when compared to the E55. The brakes on the CLK are the C32 brakes which are only 4-piston, the E55 has the 8-piston brakes. The HP is also the next factor, since the CLK lacks the supercharger it has aroung 100 less HP than the E55. When comparing the price to the E55 the CLK55 is only about 7k cheaper which I don't think justifies those performance differences. Am I crazy or what, the E55 seems to be the car to get.
