I saw one of these in person today and was very impressed. I really think with a drop and some 3-piece wheels this car will look amazing.

This is heads above the last C-Class and seems to be a great deal for a 40k car. My only criticism is that it seems a little under powered at 268HP and 250+TQ.

without a doubt the exterior is striking and BMW is probably very worried, b/c A LOT of their 3 series sales WILL suffer - its a gorgeous car, the interior leaves something to be desired, unfortunately, that appears to be the only weak spot of the car, the mid-section im ruling out as the major flaw below the nav screen - and it appears the climate control is left to a rotational **** such as in my sl55 which truly is a pain over a nice electronic screen number such as in my e55 - overall its clean and nice inside, but the outside, wow, gorgeous, MB>bmw... first time ive said that about the C vs. 3 class....

 

didn't like the interior in person...looked cheap.

 

it is the "cheap" benz, but i totally agree, its too bad, i just wish it wasnt like it is, the car itself is so nice, but imo the interior is just as important when buying a car

although, as i do think this, i have had 2 996 porsches, so that doesnt say much

M3 on the otherhand... beautiful interior and best use of materials i have seen in a car i have owned to date, RR is kinda iffy, terrible seats and while it looked good - actually having it wasnt great

 

Looks good.

 

Brumos Motor Cars was cool enough to give me the chance to take it home for the extended Labor Day weekend and drive it. Great car. i was very impressed about all of the creature comforts the car had and the optional audio system. the front seats were one of the most comfortable around. i thought the rest of the interior has been nicely done. my favorite part of the exterior is the front. its striking in person. power was strong, brakes very sensitive as compared to my cayman S. the sticker on the C-350 i had was $43k. my only question for Porsche was why bluetooth was not offered on my car, lol. that was a simple thing that i didn't think i would miss on my cayman S but i do.

 

Here's one dropped with wheels. Looks good.

 

MCJ, sweet picture. looks awesome.

 

i do like the new look. the exterior atleast. haven't seen the interior yet. to me the inteiror is just as important as the ext. i can't stand a cheap interior. haha. the steering wheel looks funny though.

 

Porsche definitely hasn't figured out the interior thing yet either!

I agree about the RR interior, completely swayed me to buy a CTT it was so bad. I can't imagine sitting in that drivers seat, it felt like cardboard wrapped in vinyl.

I need to stay in touch with you! Speaking of which, you around next week to grab some cruisers? Finally get together and meet up?

I called Harris to find out if there are any C-350's at the dealership to drive around town. Did it feel sluggish and slow to you? 268hp is kind of a joke..

 

little google images action:

 

Hey I am finally working over at Brumos stop in and say whats up to the new Internent sales mgr

 

A very sharp looking car.
I was hoping to make it to the C-Drive event in a couple weeks to see it in person.

 

Still a bit undecided on the new blunt front end, it's the whole grill to headlight relationship... wouldn't kick a C63 out of bed tho.

 

Looks good. Love the C63. Looks nicer than the 335
