PLEASE moderators, let's have separate forums for the sedan/wagons and the coupe. I think the interests, questions, and issues are separate enough between the two to warrant different forums.

For example, all the posts on lowering your car, various pulleys, etc. seem only to pertain to the coupe, not the sedan.

I think both of your propositions are incorrect. Performance and handling AND utility are why I bought the C320 wagon. Coupe may supply the first two, not much of the third and, IMHO, nothing for my esthetic sense. Porsche or CLK (or many other things) are more appealing to me than the coupe.

Anyone ever think of having a separate "modding" forum instead of separating the coupe & sedan? Except for the engine, most of the C coupe and sedan mechanicals/systems are the same and info for one usually applies to the other (except, of course, for the lack of one-touch close on the coupe sunroof ).

I believe that overall the Sedan owners have different goals than the Coupe
owners. I would rather not have to dig through a lot of posts that I feel of
no interest to the average sedan owner.

I agree im sick and tired of cheking bettween both. Since the c230coup.com is not that known??

this thread is hilarious.

"i'd never thought about it before, but now that you mention it, it's really annoying!"

That is exactly my point.

Very true. If some people don't want to know about adding a crankshaft pully, don't read the thread. Don't you all think its nice to know about the Audio 10, or wheel types, or suspension springs, or common car malfunctions? We'd all lose out if there wasn't the input from the larger sedan + coupe population.

Thats not it, lots of body modification, wheels, and interior stuff are completely different for the coupe and the sedan. I have gone into countless spoiler threads only to find info on the coupe which I have 0 interest in. It would help is sedan posts had (sedan) and coupe posts had (coupe). That would make things much easier, if only we could agree to get everyone to do that.

i totally disagree. i personally have found that there's much more in common than there are differences; the exterior and interior modification threads that are coupe-specific are fairly easy to spot. if you don't like reading them, then don't.

finding any useful information on this forum involves using the search page anyway... i don't see how splitting the two categories into 2 forums accomplishes anything but subtracting from their total value.

Its like keeping the cl and s forums the same. The cars are built on the same platform, so why not? Same thing goes for the new E and the new CLK. The CLK is a 2 door E basically, why not keep them in the same forum? The difference are big enough to where there needs to be a seperate forum or the posts need to acnowledge which car they associate. The difference between the sedan and the coupe isnt like a bmw 330i and 330ci, its much bigger.

does it really frustrate you to the point where you seriously want there to be two forums? i really don't see the need for all this mess. it's an annoyance sometimes, yes, but by no means does it justify splitting the crowd.

As a matter of fact, since the CLK is based on the C platform, they should be combined with us.

well they're all Mercedes so they should all be combined...????

I like the idea of a seperate performace "mod" forum for the kids. Other than that, I think the 2 should stay together.
