C-Coupe on next weeks MotorWeek

Just happened to catch this: The C-Coupe and C320 Sport Wagon will be road tested during next weeks MotorWeek (on PBS). They usually run pretty thorough (and interesting) tests.

Talking

Actually this is a repeat from a previous show, which I taped. Very positive review. They loved the brakes, acceleration, handling. The style review was very solid. Get your VCRs ready, but don't wear out your tape looking at the 5 minute segment over and over again as you anxiously wait for your build to come from Germany. Only bad thing is that they tested a stripped down model. No C7, or C5. The review would be even better if they showed off the roof!!!
