c350 in mars red

Wife got her c350 2 weeks ago.
Love it. 350 puts her 300 (6speed) to shame. Interior is incredible.

She got:
17" oem AMG wheels
Pano roof
black MB tex
multimedia launch package (everything but rear camera)
standard rear spoiler
bixenon
matte olive trim

sorry cell phone pics...

beautiful car, and the pics are fine! They're the first I've seen on this forum...please post more, especially the interior. I'm even curious about the trunk, as I'm an alumnus of the C230 Kompressor coupe, which was a hatchback.

How's the gas mileage, as compared to the C300?

The C-Coupe engines, with direct-injection, are supposed to be more efficient.

the trunk is a least as big as her 300. She also had a '02 c-coupe but that was back when subwoofers in the trunk were cool, so there wasn't a lot of space left.

I just did a 900 mile loop and averaged 28 MPG w/my C350. Average speedvwas 75-80. I am realy liking this car. Traded in a 128i to get th 300 hp and better interior.

Looks fantastic in red!! And to the above comment about a dude getting one in red...Hell yeah!! Especially if you wanted to change wheels or add CF parts etc, it would be a great contrast.
