I saw what I thought was a de badged Audi S4 the other day with a big decal in the rear window. It was a dinner plate with a fork and knife next to Honda's logo. Now if that hasn't pissed off its share of ricers...

Hmm

If it's 3x better than the current C class, that should be enough to make it adequate. No disrespect to any owners, but the C240's look like complete and utter garbage, and are unreliable too boot. And the first generation with 168 HP 2.6 liter V6's, drinking premium gas...WTF is the point in paying 32K for that?

I'd spend 23K, and get a fully loaded Accord that was bigger, faster, had better fuel economy, the same options, and drank 87 octane.

The only reason to by the second gen C class was the star on the front hood....lets hope the new one is a little bit more like the 190 or the first gen C class.

A new loaded 6 banger Accord is $33K+.

I spent a few days behind the wheel of an '06 C280. Nice enough car and no FWD.

My view on cars is that everyone should have a sports car in the garage and a stationwagon for everything else. Just saying, not to stray from the thread. The C-wagen might be just the thing I need if I could get that in fake leather.

What sports car have you?

If I had the means I would have a Miata, an Elise, and an AMG CLS (they really nailed the styling on that car).

I have a Lambo.

Nah, I don't have a sports car. I wish.

I think a C270CDI with a Ferrari 355 next to it would be a pretty nice garage. The MB in silver the Ferrari in red of course.

They look better than the last time I saw a preview of the C-class!

That C63 looks awesome. I was thinking of an E55 for my next Benz, but if the timing is right, a C63 might just be the ticket...
