I agree with Anthony. The C is an EXCELLENT product. And good product sells. I don't believe brief road tests do this car justice. It's so good day after day and you really get to appreciate it's depth of talent over time. Out of our w220 S, W211E and W209 CLK, over the last few years, I love this new C the most.

Really looking forward to the new E, which we plan to replace the X5 with straight away.

I think that is with any Mercedes, all of its talents are apparent in a 15 minute or afternoon test drive. That is the major difference between a MB or BMW and say a Lexus or Acura. Those cars wear their qualifications on their sleeves, the Germans don't IMO.

Re: Its 500 000 and Still Going for The BABY BENZ

Just me..i dont know if its 4 modells or just the 2 (sedan and wagon)
Afaik BMW never present the 3er seperate.. so i ASSUME that its all 4..
Its kinda hard to find numbers on only 2 of them..if BMW never shows the world..

On the other hand.. every sensible bone ( 2) in my body are saying that you might be right..
2 vs 2..
All other things would just make this so much sweeter..
And its allready on diabetic level..

Re: Its 500 000 and Still Going for The BABY BENZ

BMW Fan: The 3er is the market leader because I said so!

Merc Fan: Nuh-uh the C-class beat the 3er here, here and oh yea here.

BMW Fan: Well the 3er is still the market leader you must have your numbers wrong.

Merc Fan: No your numbers must be wrong.

BMW Fan: No, I'm pretty sure your numbers are wrong.

Merc Fan: No no, I'm pretty sure yours are wrong.

So.. does anyone have the real numbers???

Im not too sure about how it 'sounds' yet though. Nothing to do with being a fan at all. MB released an OFFICIAL 'world press report', with numbers! Unless they stupidly made it up. And then some posters acknowledged that it was a good achievement, which it was. Other posters proceeded to 'defend' their favored brand. Speaking for myself, i stated the facts as i know them

Personally i think whats childish is the idea of everything posted on the forum being attached to 'FANatism'. And disregarding what's fact, just because you're some fan or the other

Couldn't agree more on this one

It's indeed true that some eligible factual discussion goes down the drain under the name of fanboy talk.
