As for cleaning, I would use Lexol Vinilex for non-leather stuff and their leather cleaner and conditioner on leather.

excites your girlfriend
i would not mind dropping the c320 engine in my car... but then i guess that would be the same as buying a c320 sport sedan...
Edit: nevermind i take that back! 0-60 is only marginally faster and the extra weight and poor fuel economy would suck.
Now if I could drop in the C55 engine.....

The C has great head room for the wife & I, and the kids legs aren't crammed against the front seat backs.
Because my wife likes to pack the kitchen sink when we travel (and because the C-class trunk is on the small side), the kids end up with their travel packs (backpacks with Game Boys, Video-Now players, Walkmans, comic books, etc) in their footwells, and they still don't complain on a 6-hour trip.

Hey I have full leather in the C!
Anyhow, as for the real MB comment. I wish the people that said that would look at the Sales Figures from the C Class... That non Benz model sure sells way more than the rest of the Real Benz's!!!!
