I agree that Mercedes are great driving cars. Just today I drove my 1997 Integra, the handling differences are as clear as night and day. The Mercedes is 11 years older but feels much more connected to the road and more solid than my Integra (which is supposed to be a great handling car). The steering is much more solid and responsive compared to the loose unconnected feel of my Integra. It really surprised me switching over for the day.

Also, my stepbrother almost bought a BMW 323i because Mercedes didnt have a comparable product (he didnt like the looks of the C-class) but now he is seriously thinking of getting the new C-class.
