Ultimate Driving Machine: C350 SS 6 Speed
Looking to get a 2006 C Class soon and think I'll pick up the Ultimate Driving Machine: The 2006 Mercedes Benz C 350 Sport Sedan with the 6 Speed Manual fully loaded....268 Horsepower 
Really, what other Mercedes Benz sedan can you get with a 6 Speed? The C350 SS 6spd will be a dream to drive.
Sure the 7GTRONIC will be fantastic, but when it comes to DRIVING, the 2006 Mercedes Benz C 350 Sport Sedan with the 6 Speed Manual fully loaded takes the cake.
Only thing left to do is change those baby wheels to the C55 AMG wheels, add your tint, and change the sound system inside. And then there's the option of a front grill change to a CLK style. Not too many Mods....just right and does the car full justice.
When I get mines, pictures will be up no doubt. Only thing left to do is reveal the color. The car will look powerful with those bi-xenon headlights at night.
268 Horsepower is more than enough for me and competes well with other entry luxury sport sedans. And for damn sure looks the best out of them all. Especially when dressed it right.
Much respect to the 2006 C230 Sport Sedan with the 6 Speed. That's a great car to buy for a decent price and still give you the Mercedes pleasure of a 6 speed. Just not as moving as the C350 :v , but still a wonderful car.

that's why i need a fuel economy daily driver for all the driving i do, and a nice toy sitting at home in the garage for occasional use these friggin gas prices just won't stop. now if the stock market was like this right now, i'd be golden. just paid $2.83 a gallon for 93 the other day

The rim is called 'Algebar' according to the thread.

i think it is wonderful. i'm now nicely cruising at 90 on the highway and i'm assuming it is because ppl are finally getting gas consicous and realizing that they can save more money by driving less and by driving 65-70 instead in the right lane (and get a better mpg). left lane is all open now.... oooo yeah. beep beep
beep beep

I think the C55 is even heavier...
I don't get the interest in the high HP sedans. Like you said, you need something good on gas for daily use...and a toy for the weekends. Get a real sports car for the weekends. Something that does more than plow and power steer in the corners.
If you still need a Benz, get a nice 1.8L C230...pretty good on gas...still have the four ports for days you need to carry more people.

I like the CTS styling- but you gotta have big rims. With 16"s its too chunky in the back. Its unlike anyone else, and its one of the few GM success stories. Its a runaway hit for the class its in, and the cars are holding there value better than the Acuras and the C-Classes. I'd like a nicer interior though.

The rim you reference has much fatter spokes.
