That's a ****load of Cs.

I wonder what a leased 350 would cost. Hmmmmm.

*How does this plan to keep up? IS350, 335i, G35, etc are all over 300hp. C350 is nowhere close. I know, I know, a different market - but MB is known for at LEAST strait line performance.

Damn! That's crazy!
I'm curious if I'd be taking delivery before the end of summer if I order a 350 or possibly the 63 if it's reasonably priced. I have our very own HD Jimbo on the case but was hoping to get input from Euro people as well.

Car Magazine actually tested the 350 in the latest issue and were very impressed by the drive. I actually like this car and think they're creeping closer and closer to hitting the mark..

Pretty accurate though. The drivers of the S drive like zombies; slow and reckless. I remember how this old geezer tried to change into my lane when I was right next to him...TWICE! ! ! ! !

After the 2nd time I just floored it and got as far away from him as I could.

I can say it only for germany.

C-class most drivers are 65+ (pensioners)
E-class most drivers are 35+ (employees of big companys)
S-class most drivers are 50+ (most company presidents)
