While the C300 starts at $32k, the C350 Automobile reviewed with the new CTS and 330 was $47k!

MBs go up in price quickly...

Good interior. Nice exterior except for the pedestrian impact induced tall nose. The profile looks bad thanks to the impact standards. It also looks a bit off from the front. I think some of that is the horrid MB (and others) trend to larger badges.

The interior looks ace but the body styling isn't doing much for me. It's not ugly it's just not inspiring.

It does not turn me on at all. In that class I will wait for a look at the new CTS and probably save $10k too.

Looks like the best C-class ever. I still would buy other rides first, but at least it seems up to class par now.

I like the new C class except the pop-up navi looks kind of cheap...I love AMG seats. I considered trading my M3 for a C55 briefly...great engine and great seats but the autotmatic only kills it for me. I'm sure it doesn't impace regulars C class sales much but I doubt that I'm the only enthusiast that feels that way. I went to the Benz dealer car shopping with my mom and they had some gorgeous cars in the showroom and all of them were black...it looked awesome. I love the E55 and CL 500...very sweet.

im not impressed by the rear end... especially the tail lights... front and sides are good... interior is good... steering wheel and nav unit placement could have been better... overall, slightly better interior than the 3 series, IMO...

definitly low on power.. mercedes usually jumps its HP to stay ahead of rivals... this time its below... perhaps there's an engine bump coming... then again, the Audi is at 255 HP...

Direct injection would make the MB motors more competitive.

The new CTS has direct ignition 218-cu-in 304hp, the 'new' C-class 213-cu-in with 268hp.

I call those two engines about the same size and the Caddy has 36 more hp and the G37 has 62 more hp.

MB with all this F1 technology etc.. could easily make 300hp in a large V6

Doesn't MB typically update the car, then update the engines over the next years, so every new car design has an older engine in it?
