I agree, the stripes just don't work.

I'd take the 116 for 2000 bucks.

Super huge dif! The PT is odd looking, the S65 is SWEET!! You cannot say that grille looks like it is off a PT Cruiser.
Sure I can, I just did. Here, I'll say it again. The grille looks like it came of a PT Cruiser or something. If you like it, good for you. I don't. The fact that I don't is OK. You can still like it all you want. What, did you expect a chorus of ooohs and ahhhhs and agreement?
When you're a bit older you'll realize that it's OK to like a car that somebody else doesn't, and it's OK for others to not have chubbies over the cars that you do. To me, there's a striking similarity between the two grilles. I don't care for the styling on new Mercedes. The cheaper ones look like every other econobox on the road and the pricey ones look like overstyled ghetto sleds to me. YMMV

We are all unique and have different tastes.

C140's are nice, but that red one needs to be cleaned up a bit. Throw on a set of AMG monoblocks and ditch that lame stripe, and it will look much better.

OTOH that new S65 is pure sex, only Brabus can make one better.




Over 800hp and 1,000 ft pounds of torque, all at 2k rpm so it pulls like a freight train and just doesn't stop to 217mph...

The '97 coupe looks tacky and the '11 S series looks like a limo.
I should know, I still make money in one 10-20 days a year in Toronto.
