^ What are you doing in a W203 forum if you dont like Benz's ? I drove your little M3s but they wasnt really impressing me. What was impressing me was an MB that AMG. Please our competitors cant really compete when it comes to name, looks, and style.

So how come you don't post pics of your C instead of finding pics on the internet.

There is a never ending list of status items, of which there are a cheap match that is of equal quality.
The quest for status has been around for thousands of years......from the Mandarins in China to the Athenians in ancient Greece.
Shallow....yes. Funny...yup. The reason people are still buying Benz's that are really struggling on quality....of course.
Been really diggin the new Lexus looks....pretty sweet.
I really love your posts....just wanted to throw in my 2 cents, for all it's usually not worth.

You don't buy a Rolex and then say all other watches are ****, just because you have the Rolex.
Jakpro, your two cents are worth a million dollars to me, keep the posts coming, it's a lot better to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about then someone who has been repeatedly banned, over and over.

How come you constantly keep revising your posts? I just got an email notification about that posts of your claiming it is your car. 
Im not bashing those cars, Im bashing the bodys. As far as performance they may be better than a Benz and more reliable, But I take the Benz any day. Read my sign. And yes thats my Benz
You want to bet that others got that message as well and can confirm the wording?

while I agree that the w203 C230k SS styling is very sleek and sexy, I think your mentality about owning an MB compared to other vehicles in it's class is a bit "off".
You're entitled to your own opinion about car designs but saying "is it me or does The Lexus GS300, Audi A4, Bmw 325 and Inifinity G35 Bodys Sucks ???" and other remarks is just bashing that's not necessary. They're all generally pretty well liked by their perspective buyers and those who would like to someday own cars like that. I'm sure you would be defending the w203 design if people started to bash on it and what status MB has left after the past few years. Right?
While MB may be the one of the bigger status symbols out there, I think any of the three big German car manufacturers are status symbols. Drive into work with an Audi, BMW or MB and when people/co-workers see what you're driving and what they're driving, they're going to consider it a "status" symbol.
Yeah, sure, you can get a MB for the money you pay for the other cars in the same class but you can also get more "car" out of what you pay with the other players vs the MB. If you just bought it because it's a MB or gotta have status symbol...you need to get that "I've got an MB so I'm better than you" or what have you, thinking out of yer head.

i hate superficial ppl.
with the current list of cars in the $30k range, C230k wouldn't be my top choice. I'd take a A4 2.0T quattro over it anyday.
