Yes, the "Sports Package" is bye-bye.

It sucked anyways.

I have seen one 2003 C320 wagon with the Avantgarde package listed on the sticker. The car did have the features of the Avantgarde package, such as the body kit. Avantgarde is very similar to the Sport package.

It is possible that this car was a factory mistake, but you should ask your sale rep if the Avantgarde package is listed as an option in the StarNet computer.

all u can say is that the "sport pkg/avantgarde" model is not selling as good as MBUSA had thought they would. also, for $2400 sport pkg many ppl think it's too expensive. sport pkg for the 3-series is only $1500 or something.

Sigh. The original poster said "Did MBUSA get rid of the sports pack"? Note the *USA* in the question.

I answered, quite correctly, "yes."

Another Canadian straining to prove me wrong (what's with you Canadians?!?), said that I was "Wrong" because Canada still offers the sports pack.

My response was "Who cares"? As in, if someone specifically asks if MB *USA* got rid of the sports pack, who cares what Canada has??? Its absolutely irrelevant to the question asked.

Gotta learn to read, people.

Your point is well taken SoCal but some tact and diplomacy is in order here. Your response "who cares" does have an air of snottiness about it. Unless of course you really wanted to incite us Canadians.

Perhaps someone should send SoCal240/6 the book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People", as his method of communication demonstrated on this board shows a deep lacking in every respect of civil conduct.
