Mercedes Benz Design Gives Open Air Feel: Fly The Coupe

Mercedes Benz Design Gives Open Air Feel Fly The Coupe
Mercedes Benz always has made stylish coupes, which is why the automaker's CLK coupe has been one of its most desirable models since the car's 1998 introduction. The redesigned 2003 model is a lot better.

The fast, nimble, comfortable new CLK resembles its predecessor. But it has ultrasmooth styling inspired by Mercedes' top-line CL coupe and is slightly larger and roomier.

The CL and CLK coupes feature the industry's only mass-produced hardtop design without middle roof posts. Open the windows and the CLK feels like a convertible with the top up. Conventional coupes can't match that open, airy feel. In profile, the roof appears to float above the car when all windows are open.
