I understand that it's your car and you're able to do whatever you want to it (even put C55 AMG if you want); however, I think people were just voicing their opinions and giving their input.

So if you feel robbed by Mercedes-Benz for your extra ".3liters", do you. But when you say:
The rest of the MB line up are identified by their engine size.
You're incorrect - S65 (6.0 liter), S600 (5.5 liter), E320 (3.0 liter), ML320 (3.0 liter) ... and so on... anyway, the point being that the C-Class is not the only one misrepresented -- hence if the C230 was called the C270, but had a 2.3 liter, would you lower it to a C230?

Give it a rest. I think we have concluded this discussion. There must be more important issues at hand.

Merry Christmas

LOL

Hey, don't take it so personal, people are bound to give their opinions - it's the whole concept of a forum. At the end of the day it's more important what you think of your car then what others do. So, hey, slap that thing and be unique.

And in that case, change "Vehicle I drive" to "2006 C250".....

And the rest of you guys driving the C230 1.8 Liter, give back those 2's! ...Then again, it is SUPERCHARGED.
