if its a repost, im sorry, i didnt see it. i would totally take the c class if it had a twin turbo engine.

but that front grill on the mb is just hideous

jetblk328i · 07-09-2007, 08:02 AM

meh, its not that bad, but the luxury version's is better.

jetblk328i · 07-09-2007, 08:07 AM

srry this is a repost....didnt see it before.

saosinned · 07-09-2007, 08:15 AM

meh is it just me or does every benz under 100k look hideous outside and in? the interiors looks like a space ship designed for a movie from the 60's with a bunch of random circles.

they always reminded me of a sebring or a malibu. not saying they're not nice cars, im sure they are.

bronco · 07-09-2007, 09:25 AM

Ehhhh, I dont like the new C series from MB

BK · 07-09-2007, 09:33 AM

It appears MB is still using the same engine as the previous C350, which lost out in previous comparisons to the 330i. Consequently, it doesn't surprise me that the new one would lose to the 335i. I wonder if MB has any plans to update engines?

there is no such thing as a "cheap" real MB...

btinl · 07-09-2007, 09:52 AM

The exterior of the MB isn't bad, but I've never liked the cheap MB interior.

epiphone3 · 07-09-2007, 09:56 AM

The new C-Class sounds like a winner to me.

I think Mercedes was smart to focus it differently than BMW does. Mercedes does the calm, solid car thing well and BMW seems to do the ethusiast, solid car thing well.

jetblk328i · 07-09-2007, 09:56 AM

yea i can agree with that^^^ the exteriors been pretty good, but yea the interior is too plasticky but i like that new pop up screen. also the spedometer with the info inside is pretty cool.

TMNT · 07-09-2007, 10:00 AM

I like the new C class. Though it cannot compete head to head with the performance of a BMW, they really aren't trying to. They rather, are focusing more on comfort and standard equipment to differentiate themselves.

The new C class is more than $2,000 cheaper than the 3 series. Not to mention that bluetooth and powerseats are standard options as well in the new C class...... when you factor those options in the 3'er we're looking at a $3,700 difference!

Not bad if you ask me.....not bad at all.

jetblk328i · 07-09-2007, 10:03 AM

a agree^^^ and well i think its probably a really good daily driver for work, sure it may not handle or accelerate as well but i think it should be a comfortable ride for a pretty decent price.

nusevad · 07-09-2007, 10:16 AM

I actually like the styling of the C class alot better than the E90. It looks alot more prestigious, interior on the other hand looks too busy, however on the C63 it looks pretty nice.

oldaccount · 07-09-2007, 10:37 AM

eh, sure its a fine car, but non-AMG benzes dont do anything for me. But then again, neither did non-M BMWs until the 335 (bar e30s and 2002s)

the BMW is still more of a drivers car, which is what would win it for me, regardless of the n54.
