I'd have to go with the 335i too. The CLK550 has a lot of power, but the rest of the car is really starting to show its age, moreso than other MB models that came out at the same time like the E and SL. This current generation CLK has never really looked the part like the previous model (my car!). Go with the 335i, not as powerful, but much newer, better handling and generally a superior car IMO. The only thing the CLK550 has is that new gem of a V8, but its strapped to a now old vehicle.
