Don't the exhaust tips give out a better sound? I think so, I heard a 2007 C230 being revered at the dealership and it sounded a little more aggressive.

Not sure, I haven't driven any other C230s. But I just came back from the local mall, and eyeing the other non-sport C230s without the tips, I'm glad I got them, they look great!

Good thing the green button worked.

2007 has the same AMG exhaust that was used on the C32.

Something I'd Do

"Here's something else: the saleswoman pointed out that there's a blinking green button in the trunk of the car that you can push to open it from the inside if you ever get locked in. Well, if you know me, you know how this story is going to end... Anyway, last night, I tell my wife I'm going to go to the garage and take a picture of that button from the inside. To which she replies, "You're an idiot". My C230 doesn't have the rear folding seats, so I told her if I wasn't back in 15 minutes, to come down and pop the trunk for me. To which she replies, "You're an idiot"."

Nice pic of the inside of the trunk. And that's funny, because that's something that I would have done too. And your wife's reply is exactly what my wife would say to me.

I just love to find these posts and pass them on to the wife, so I can prove to her that I'm not the only "crazy" C-Class owner out there ("crazy" definitely being a GOOD thing).
