as for the original question the benz's are fun to drive and u can go pretty fast in them and not to mention the little 3 pointed star on the hood, or it's made in germany.....

btw the standard equipment offered by the company is much more then the benz, such as keyless go i don't have the entire list but was impressed by the car, im going to check out the C 350, any complaints on that car?
my only complaint so far (SO FAR) is that I can't stop driving it.

Too many to list
I think the #1 reason why the C-class is so popular is because it's cheap, it looks great (W203 SS) and it's an MB. People like to be looked up, not down. Driving an MB will get those kind of stares just because it has a 3-pointed star and a car that looks fast but actually, it's not (excluding the C32/C55).

Yea, and what is with that name. I thought Lexus was the name of a super b*tchey, type A personality, women; or a high priced hooker; or something like that?? but, a car???

Maybe for a quick drive around the block...but nothing long term.
......It's got Bad 'Shui, man!!!!!!

game recognizes game or so they say so an AMG driver wouldnt be anyone to worry about. its the wannabes in low end rides that would be the problem.

Sports inspiring my a$$, they don't even off the larger engine in stick. Blah.

you dont get out much do you. no reviewer puts the c class in the same class as an IS. its usually 3 series, IS, G35 and on down. get over it. and by the way moron, there are NO toyota symbols on the IS 350.

digital_b, check your PMs. To you folks with the Lexus cars, this is a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast site... play nicely here, or play instead on the Lexus forums where someone may actually care about your opinions.
