Whoa, easy there manny. 
I think you misunderstood me. I'm not dissing C-class owners or their choice of cars. All I'm saying is that there's no denying that Mercedes lowered their previous standards to accomodate a market they didn't originally have a real stake in - i.e. to compete in the entry level luxury/sport sedan market. It was a bad move by them because, as others have mentioned, other manufacturers do it better and cheaper. I think the newer C-class are much nicer cars than the original ones, but I still don't see them in the light that I do the original models and the E and S classes.
Sorry, just my opinion.
Although the AMG C-class are in a different category altogether...
