I have sat in two of them, not driven one yet. The dealers are keeping them on the showroom floor. You must buy befor you try. Being 6’4” the headroom is terrible. I don’t think the “fit and finish” is up to traditional MB standards. One of them had a serious flaw in the paint. When I pointed it out to the salesman he did everything short of throwing me out of the showroom to get me away from the car and the other people looking at it.

Based on what I've seen I'd go with an E55 or a CLK 55 when available in late '00.
