Good! That frees up a BMW for someone who really appreciates the Ultimate Driving Machine

Aija · 03-26-2007, 02:33 PM

hmm didnt realize the new body for C is out (i dont care much for mercedez), will test drive it and compare it with the 335i/ Corvette C6 (yes i know its apples and oranges) and make the final call. Im sure at the end ill get the 335...

Rear end is hideous. I like the front/side and interior though. Man that emblem is huge!

Yeah they are going through the same thing VW went through a few years ago when they increase the size of their logo in the front and back of the cars. LOOK AT MEH!

that's the avant garge edition, the other one, I think is named "elegance", has the regular tri star hood enblem

what's a C-class??

MacAttack · 03-26-2007, 04:23 PM

Don't like the styling. Stay BMW.

AlexM · 03-26-2007, 05:22 PM

I love the exterior, it's really sporty, interior on the other hand is nothing special, in fact quite boring.

While it is much improved over the current C Class, the new interior still doesn't appeal to me that much. Seat adjustment buttons on the door?

But today after i test drove the new c class (was avantarde) i got crazy over the car......i think mercedes this time made an excellent car(sporty and elegent).....so i think i am going for it......but still feel a little sad inside because deeply inside i also like the new 3 series.

This is a matter of which type of person you are.
BMW stands for motorsport and sportive cars - "Freude am Fahren" - joy to drive, enjoy driving ...

Mercedes can go in Formula 1 or any raceseries, it will never get the image of a sportive car. AMG? -

Mercedes C Class in Germany has the image like driver is old man with hat ...

Inkidoo · 03-26-2007, 09:01 PM

Come on people! lets defend our E90. I don't know BOOLIS, but did you allready test drove the 335i? If not, don't buy the C class before you test drive the 335i. I am not a lover of MB, I used to drive a 98' C240 for 2 years, and... crappy big time.

However, the maybe the new ones are better, but I don't want to take a risk into dissapointment once again.

Kenny C · 03-26-2007, 09:08 PM

Turbocoins is right. I had a 03 E500 which was taken back and I recieved a 04 E500 for free. This car is also constantly going back for service. The malfunction screen is always on. My wife loves the car or I would have gotten rid of it. However it does have a great engine.

dmg · 03-27-2007, 07:23 PM

I think it's a nice looking vehicle, but the current engines
don't give much bang for the buck if that's the case.

Rumors are that they might use a C400 bi turbo engine
in the c350 to compete against you know what...

the rear is svelt, but kind of low. They said the same thing
about e90 rear end being funky also, so no big deal.
