I was pretty impressed with the new C350 Sport. The C63 must be a rocketship.

GTK. I wasn't impressed by the 06 or 07 C's. Didn't like the new trans and feel like they cheapend some interior components in order to pay for the bigger v6's and 6 spd trans.

I'd be interested in taking the new one for a drive. The C63 is supposed to wicked fast...leave a lot of sports cars in the dust.

well, i pulled the trigger and bought an IS300. I drove it, loved it, sweet color combo(silver on black leather and suede). Not quite as lux as i originally wanted, but hopefully i gained some reliability. Thanks for all the advice, ended up going with nothing on my original list haha.

Oh that is a nice looking car. I would be interested to hear how you like it. This is replacing your Audi?

yup, replacing the audi. I like it alot, much more sporty than my audi. It is "japanese" feeling, if you know what i mean. I.E. the sunroof doesn't retract all the way, compartments arent loaded with shock absorbing mechanisms etc.

Road feel is much better than the audi though, and handling seems to be very nice as well(just learning the car so havent pushed it much yet). Traction control is a royal PIA that i will probably leave off most of the time.

Transmission is, well, weird. lexus's tip is much different than the audi, i'll get back to you once i'm used to it.
