Man I wished I owned a 92 Integra there so much better than 2002 C230. *COUGH*

No doubt, i think the Acura dealerships all over the country are going to be loaded with C classes as the lines form to trade in our beautiful nice new cars for used '92 ricemobiles. i wonder if they would trade even up? i cant wait to see all the "looks" and girls i get pushing a p.o.s. like that.

Oh wait, i forgot i cant do that, i have some f***** TASTE!!!

ok, mostly, that thread wasn't about coupes or coupe bashing...

one guy who works at a mercedes shop (dealer?) says that coupsters are, "On a side note, C230 owners suck because they always have the highest expectations when they come to pick up their ordered C230 only to find out that it's just not a Mercedes. C230 owners are kind of like most Volkswagen owners. Their all pissed off because they can't afford the real luxury cars so they settle for a C230/Volkswagen and they imagine it to be a Mercedes/Audi and when they think about reality, they get depressed and take it out on other people. Not pointed at you but it was on my mind! Pain in the *** I tell ya..."

ouch. is there some truth in this? i think some here are... something about free donuts/washes...

but, i do have a serious point to make. if that guy does work for a dealership, i really don't care what model car i bought. if it's got the star, treat it w/ respect and fairly. all the dealerships i've been to for service (3), i've been treated very well and i do EXPECT it. but it's not a mercedes thing - i expect it from all car makes.

i put a link from another post from long time ago.

IF this car was alive, in America, it would be in the running for about half of the population as the next car to purchase. (ages16 to 95yrs old)

This is one of the very reasons i chose the C-class over the 330. Since i bought mine in March, I've seen so many freakin' beamer three series i cant even begin to count'em. I've only seen 7 other new body C-class sedans in central ohio (not counting when i goto the dealership) and only 2 of the C coupes, none of which had any mods done to it. IMO i like to have something different, and smile every time a beamer pulls up next to me as i know i made the right decision in getting my Benz.

I think more importantly, who cares what they think about our cars.

No.

The comment that "the C230K is not a real MB" was a piece of crap.

The C-class chassis, the SLK230 engine and drivetrain, and MB comfort and safety features, with a load of options, come on, not a real MB... idiot.

They had the good cookies today, very enjoyable and the car wash came out OK, coffee was even good. Sat in the new CLK, very nice but they could have done a better job with the cupholder. Only one and it's high up in front of the passenger airbag in a cheezy pop out from the dash board. The seats are very comfortable.

Next week I have to bring it in for my free annual detail, they do a good job getting the swirls out and I get a nice loaner. No complaints about customer service here. And as far as reliability goes, I had very, very low expectations from previous MB experiences and MB met them all. I can see why someone not familiar with MB would get really pissed about reliability. I wouldn't want to work there.

Silver_Lana

huh?

How come you get free detailing?

E_Corleone

my question exactly. it cost me $250.00, what up with that???

peet

I just felt my iq go down 10 points.

psun786

it is not the "Benzo" dat u drove make who u are~ but ppls who drove "Mercedes Benz" make the car prestige~

MB-BOB

I hope you're not going to count that annual detail visit as one of the many dealership visits you've had to endure for "reliability" reasons...

young

what? can you explain that some more? people are supposed to give prestige to a car?

toki999

they are just jealous that we are driving Benz.......not imports.

all my friends wants to ride in my car....and that's good enuf for me =)

and chicks too hahha

Duffer

Well (if I translated correctly), in your tiny "world" that may hold true. You'd better stay in that world. Reality would be too much for you. The first time you saw a hooker, pimp or other lowlife in an MB, it might be too much for you to handle.

Good luck.

And (sarcastically) congrats, you may have stirred things up again.

My friend had a 1991 Integra...it wasn't up to the level of my 92 Saturn SC, much less the C230. The Satty kicked it up and down the rev band, had low end torque the Integra would have died for, handled better, and it won't rust, either.

I think the single biggest thing I can't stand about ricers, is this attitude that NOTHING is as good a Civic...give me a break. I used to own an Accord...Hondas are good value cars, that's there whole strategy... they aren't the pinnacle of auto design. And not everyone likes the "styling by maytag" of nearly every Honda and Acura design, the S2000 being a notable exception.

tommy

Gee, we never see that attitude expressed here, do we?
