2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK320

 

 
The Mercedes-Benz CLK320, a two-door, four-passenger luxury coupe, is one more in a long line of well-engineered, conservatively styled cars from the German manufacturer. Though small-looking, it packs all the performance and amenities one expects in a $44,000 vehicle. A 215-hp, 3.2-liter engine is under the hood, buried beneath a layer or two of heat-resistant plastic. All that black plastic makes for a spic-and-span appearance, but doesn't give you much of a look
