New C250 Coupe for Wifey...Palladium Silver

Picked it up yesterday as xmas gift for my wife...traded in a 2008 C300.

Initial impressions...

1. The coupe is very pretty and feminine...I'm tempted to get the C63 Black for moi not just for its crazy performance but also its more masculine body. The wider arches do add a lot of cojones.

2. The interior...an improvement over the 2008 in materials. The piano black accents are very nice...the faux aluminum is still kind of cheap to me but she likes it...I was going to go all piano black in the interior but I bought it for her.

3. The electronics...very trick...still reading the manual. The voice control is very nice...

4. The red leather is very nice with the Palladium Silver...great combo.

5. For a 250...it has a nice oomph to it...more than enough for my wife.

"pretty and feminine" WTF?

I think a few of us will disagree with you on that part.

We can agree to disagree...its just the internet and my opinion. If I was buying one for ME, I just prefer the wider look...



There is nothing wrong with the C250 coupe aesthetically and I'm not denigrating your car choice...it is sharp. Again, if I'm buying for me then I like the haunches of the C63 BS...
