how does the C36 compare with the new V8 C43? i been hearing things that the C36 might actually be better. up until 1996, the C36 was using the 500E 4 speed transmission and i know the brakes and handling capabilities for both the C36 and C43 are both great. Then, 1997 came the 5 speed auto. How does the V6 C36 sound? raspy? or nice?

then, how would both cars compare to the legendary 500E?


a used 1995-1997 C36 is in the neighborhood of the 500Es. Is the C36 worth the price?
