ok so this is going to sound stupid, but i actually would like to compare the handling in the 8 to the clk320 mercedes benz, or to a 325i non-sport. I was in both of these cars and was moderatley impressed with both. If anyone has experience with these 2 cars or has ever owend one, please chime in with your opinion. thanks in advance.

For the 325i, it has been covered before in the past. This is a good thread to read on:

RX8 VS 325i - rematch and conclusions

There are others. Just search for 325i.

is there anyone who can chime in on the clk?

The CLK is slow, looks like ***, is overpriced, heavy for its size, and from everything I have read it handles not so good. I would take the 8 over either car anyday.

I rented a CLK430 Convertible in Las Vegas and I must say it is nice of course--just not a sports car. The 4.3L V8 sounds like a muscle car when you accelerate but its 275HP leaves you wanting more. The CLK500s are mean though-the 302HP is nice--the styling is more classy than the previous ones--just more feminine. My mom has an SLK230 and it is decent--a woman's car to say the least--the new SLK is a beast however.

RX8 will out handle both cars hands down.
