The new C class are a tougher sell these days

My guess is they need to have something to crow about, when they are trying to flog off these new cars, and people are really upset about gas prices these days.

They aren't trying to sell the old W124 sedans anymore, which boasted unparalleled engineering excellence, build quality and durability...gas prices weren't a concern for Mercedes customers in those days, people who bought them paid $50,000 or so for the E class then, a considerable sum in those days.
