Question Wha happened??

I haven't been on this forum for quite a while, but I noticed that the C230K isn't in the new models for 2006...Please forgive me if this has been answered before... but why?? Did the model not sell or what? I STILL love my car, even after 3 years...

it has been discontinued for the US for MY06. Canada will be getting the 2006 models as well as most other countries.

You think this might have be answered before and want to know why so instead of doing the obvious and searching for past posts you start a new thread...

Good thinking !

You don't have to be nasty... in all that effort it took you to write your "reply" you could have just as well written something enlightening, informative, entertaining, etc. But instead you took the low road. Get a life, ****.

Canada will receive the all new 2006 C230 Sport Sedan with the new V6 Engine pushing 200 Horsepower. It will remain with the AMG Body Kit and be available with the optional 7GTRONIC (7 Speed Automatic Transmission).

The C Class Model Line in Canada has been confirmed to have:
C230
C280
C350
C55 AMG

Don't know why the US will not get the coupe nor the new C230 with 200HP.

Thank you for your replies, Mason and Citron... I actually DID do a search but got no results for what I posted my question for. This IS a SUPPORT forum isn't it?

Some say its lack of sales, some say its lack of support and interest from MBUSA and dealerships. Either way, IMO luxury hatchbacks have an uphill battle when trying to succeed in the US.

C320 Coupe
I too have been out for a couple of weeks. I checked MB's web site because my wife was interested in a coupe, but to my suprise, they actually discontinued them. I guess I'll shop else were for my next coupe. Bummer!

I personally think it is do to lack of interest by MBUSA. They were never advertised.

The reason is that if people don't search for answers, then the amount of repetitive responses on the board makes searching difficult. By answering every question that is asked, it encourages people to just be lazy and ask rather than to encourage users to search. Of course, encouraging users to search often is taken offensively, when it is the OP who is actually doing something which isn't in the best interest of the forum (I never completely understand that, maybe you could explain).

So, even though respdoc could have responded in the same amount of time, the response was supposed to be more educational and better in the long term than just answering.

Like I said in a previous reply, I did search for an answer before posting my question and I didn't get any results. I have been on this board for 4+ years and I do know how to use it... and Resp-whatever, don't bother replying to this. I understand about repetitive questions but when that does happen, whoever chooses to respond does not have to be nasty or sarcastic. You can get your point across without resorting to dumb or whatever. This board is for support, and if a person hasn't been on it for almost a year, like I have, they have a right to ask a question. Excuuse me.
