They do compete with Honda & Toyota, in Europe, the CLK & 3 Series Coupe compete, with the Accord Coupe and Celica as well as the Peugeot

how could it compete with a CLK then?? A CLK costs like twice as much as an accord coupe or celica

you'd drool over a bmw 330?? that's basically the same as my car (cause my car was the top 3 in 2000, the 330 just added the .2 liters, for the same price as the 328 for 2001)

they're not all that special..

I said the Peugeot DOES NOT compit with Accord coupe and Celica, maybe the 2.0L version gets a little bit closer to them, anywise Im talking about the V6 version, and even if it has power like in the Accord V6 the Peugeot is oriented to a different kind of buyer, like the Mercedes maybe, even if there´s a Mercedes CLK diesel in Europe less powerfull and slower than an Accord Coupe it stills been more espensive. I hope it´s clear now

I can't remember which issue it was but Top Gear magazine put the 2.0 406 against the Cougar, Prelude (non VTEC), Celica and FIAT Coupe 5 cylinder, those are the true rivals for the base models, yet the Accord V6 Coupe, 325Ci and CLK230K are the rivals for the V6, this is all according to British pricing.

I believe you. Is just that those Toyotas and Hondas got to be expensive in England!! I see Top Gear magazine in TV, it´s a pretty cool show too bad it only longs have an hour every week.

My mom's CLK AMG 55. what a beast. EURO 19 oh yea, no way CLK are in the class of accords, never in a million years, an CLK Diesel, no. never ever heard of one, even if there was one, it would be a turbo diesel. But, they dont have them anyway. And a CLK slower than an Accord V6, no. I have no clue where you got those stats..

[JBL85]

Actually a 6 cylinder Mercedes is slower then a v6 accord...the only quicker 6 cylinder mercedes is one with forced induction or a 320 SLK

[mastachi]

The SLK and CLK are two different cars. The Honda Accord V-6 has a 7.7 second 0-60 time. The CLK 230 has a 0-60 time of 7.5. Thats the smaller engine without a Kompressor. The engine has 215 hp, the CLK 430 has 272 hp. The 320 SLK as you put it is not the only car force induction made by Mercedes Benz. They put a (Kompressor) in each model of car they make besides the A-Class. Its SLK 320 anyway. The CLK 430, C320, S320, CL500-600, SLK 320, SL 430, these are just some of the cars with kompressors, The CLK, C, and SLK have 6 cylinder engines.

well, we raced a Kompressor 230 against my Maxima which is stock. The Maxima beat it, both of them were launched the same with a brake drop and both had full tanks. My friends 4-door Accord beat my Maxima, I had a bad start, but he still would have beat me....so I dont know what 0-60 your talking about.

The mercedes was those small ones where the top goes into the trunk...

[mastachi]

the CLK, SLK, and SL have tops that go into the trunk, if an accord beat your maxima, the your maxima very fast. Maxima's are hella faster than accords. you should look on the internet for car stats, then you would believe me. i know this cause i looked at car an driver and motor trend..

[mastachi]

i meant to say your maxima is not very fast if it couldnt beat an accord. even a V6..maximas are hella fast..

[JBL85]

trust me, well I guess that bad launch constituted for a lot.....and racing on windy roads doesnt help....but I am sure an accord coupe can beat a SLK.......im not good with mercedes but thats the one that says Kompressor (mercedes symbol) 230 on the back of it....im not to good with mercedes.....i usually dont have them in front of me

[mastachi]

You may have beat it, but i can tell you one thing, I use to live in the city were M-B was built makes it hard to believe, im not saying your wrong at all, i have alot of pride built up in M-B, that could be my mistake. But, people buy those Kompressor labels just like ppl by type R badges an what not. Lets let this go, is that cool??
