The C240 is grossly underpowered. Especially since the C230 Sport Sedans are out. They are cheaper and quicker! Plus you can get a 6 speed in the C230 Sedans... I have had a C240 4Matic before and it was nice but much slower than my C230K Coupe is. Then again the coupe is a 6 speed as well. I do like the auto tranny though, it is smooth as glass shifting. The next C is supposed to have more powerfull engines as well. The C320 is the engine and car to have, too bad the price premium is so high for that engine and car. The C320 Coupe's are a great deal at only 2500 more for the 6 banger than the C230 Coupe's. I have had a W211 E320 as a loaner and ML350 as well. We get only MB loaners and they are the current model year as well....
