    ARCTIC CIRCLE — Mercedes-Benz is currently exposing its 2009 CLK to some cold-weather testing in northern Sweden. The new CLK was earlier seen testing on the streets of Stuttgart, but this is the first time it's been caught out in the snow.

    Based on the same platform as the recently introduced Mercedes C-Class sedan, the next-generation CLK coupe shows signs of a similar design.

    Engine choices aren't expected to change much. The current 3.5-liter V6 will most likely remain the base power plant, with the 5.5-liter V8 continuing as an option. Rear-wheel drive will continue as well, although there is speculation that 4Matic will be added as an option.

    The CLK coupe is due out by late 2008, with a convertible version expected to follow in 2009.

    What this means to you: An early look at the Mercedes we expect to bow at the Geneva auto show in March. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor
