Summary
Mercedes plans to sell just 9,000 CLK320s in 1998 and nearly half of the buyers are expected to be women. We think Juliet might have fallen in love with the new CLK320. She would have liked its handsome looks and warm interior. That relationship would have deepened with its smooth ride, powerful responses and agile handling.Well, why not? Who couldn't love a car like that?
