Currently all the 4cyl US spec models are Kompressors, but there are still n/a and Kompressors V6 models.

But if you want to prove it to him just goto http://www.mercedes-benz.com/com/e/ and have a look at all the differnt models avliable all over the world.

Currently there are no CLK models that use a kompressor in the USA.

Someone answer me two questions please,
1) Doesn't Kompressor, as far as Mercedes is concerned, mean that the car has a supercharger?

2)Is there a significant meaning to the "K" in CLK and SLK? If so what is it.

I'm sorry, I drive an '03 Tiburon, that I love by the way, and don't know too much about M.B., although I try to stay pretty knowledgable.

Thanx for not making too much fun of me ;)

1) Yes

2) Not that I know of. I'll see if I can research a bit at a later date.

The K is for Kompakt. So you've got SLK, being a smaller (compact) version of the SL. You've also got the CLK being a smaller version of the CL. Hope this clears it up for you.
I know them all if you got any more questions!
