The new C class rocks!



Never thought I'd really want a C class, well until I saw the new one! Its freaken sweet! Its looks real sharp and modern in person. Mercedes is getting back to the more vertical grill look. If they offer it with a diesel in this country that would seal the deal, where do I sign.

I bet you could get one with off the lot for $35k with a diesel if they offered it.

The license plate S|CK - Is that supposed to be a subliminal "SICK" ...as in "cool" or "rad" or "bad" or "phat"?

Looks better than any of those descriptions - might have to come up with something superlative those those words.




PS: I used the pipe symbol (|)to imitate the two round stick-em tags, but it doesn't show up that well, does it.

They are going to offer the diesel here in the States. 42mpg combined so says the articles I've been reading. I'm interested!

If they offer a diesel its my next car, sold! That would look so nice in the driveway next to the SDL.

At $4 a gallon I can't think of a better work car.

They had one at the car show that was very nice gray with a black interior, very sharp looking.

From AutoWeek:

"A next-generation 4Matic all-wheel-drive system will be optional, and a Bluetec diesel model is also in the offing for the States, with essentially the same drivetrain as is currently offered in the E-Class."

Maybe the V6 diesel with 230hp and damn near 400ft pounds of torque!!! Drool.

Next time I am at the dealer I shall confirm this, that car will probably be a 42mpg rocket ship!

The E-Class in Car and driver was 208hp, and 400 lbs of torque. Observed 29 mpg. Heres a thought.... how much better would a stick get compared to that 7-Speed automatic? There has to be lots of wasted power and weight from that thing. For gods sake, its already 4000 lb car. But what I want to know is where this camless engine buzz went? Here's the '08 but no talk of the cool engine? Thats the only thing I cared about from Mercedes.

No its the C, from that angle it looks like the W221. But in person it looks a little like a W211, but not a direct copy.

Its a big car, weighs as much as my SDL, and probably has similer interior room to the SD.
