Default That's more like R8+ territory, IMO.

That's a pretty serious little car, and very low production... I think the RS5 will probably compete with the "normal" AMG 63 CLK

Default Isn't that car based on a 5 year old design?

I'm sorry but the only thing that can get me excited about a CLK would be a complete re-design.

Default Nice car. Don't think the RS5 will be competing with it though. Funny that the 'AMG'

name has been reduced to pretty much water since every model in the line-up has an AMG model. They had to create "The Black Edition" name to even make a wave this time around...

Default No rear seats. $130,000 - $140,000. Very limited run...

... the RS 5 will cost half the price, have all 4 seats intact, and be available at higher volumes. This CLK63 will hardly be a direct competitor.

I'm sure Audi can create an A5-based car that would compete with this 'Black' car, but why bother? Audi already has the far more compelling R8.
