which one?

i am going to be in los angeles for easter.

the hotel i am staying in is offering a special package with free use of a benz.

it is making available a clk320, an slk, a e320, a c230 coupe with kompressor.

which one do you recommend i try?

based on my current fleet[6.9, 560sel, 560sec, e320cab, s500c].

all ears.

I think the clk is a great car, but then again so is the new e class. Do you need more room for other people? I think it would be nice to try out the new e class.

Might be fun to drive the c240 Kompressor just to see if it has the same kinda kick the 6.9 has!

If you have more than one other person with you, though, the e320 makes more sense.

It's California I'd pick the SLK put the top down and enjoy.

Of all the cars I drove at the MB C event, I really really like the Kompressor. I have not driven a new E, but woudl pick that for room if needed.

The weather is likely to be very nice in So. Cal. during Easter. Hi temps should be from the upper 60's to lower 70's, so you'd have to go with a convertible.

I am 6'1" and about 190 lbs. I sat in an SLK and found it to be a tight fit.

I am willing to bet that your are a bigger guy like me, so I'd go with the CLK.
