The pillarless body is the reason people want one

Mercedes-Benz CLK550 (C209) · driving

Owners describe an easy, refined car rather than a sporting one - quiet and smooth with the top up, genuinely usable as a daily driver, and comfortable for tall people, with a six-foot-three commenter reporting room to spare in the driver seat and space behind. The pillarless profile is singled out repeatedly as the draw, and the V8 is described as effortless rather than aggressive.
