First off that is a CL that is pshopped on the front, second its CLK 550 not 500 they don't make 500s anymore. I highly doubt the CLK will look like that from the front but I would expect the lines of the CL not the CLS on it. Just expect the under-pinnings to be based off the new C-class.

For Europe, the 500 designation remains as it's a status symbol to that market.

Sorry, but you are wrong here. this is how the CLK will look in 2009. I've already had 3 dealers verify.
