Session,
At least she is cute and leaves fingerprints, better than ugly and leaves fingerprints.....

 

Just back from Newport Beach...
of course I just HAD to kick tires on the
Fletcher Jones lot...
and guess what.
A Lime green 2002 is sitting on the lot waiting for a home, and likely they'll deal.
I forget what options it had.
I also noticed a desert silver one with
oyster leather, C7, auto and sunroof, same combo I have...
and it was hard to find at the time, I got the only one in CA at that time with those options in Orion blue.

The italian site is quite interesting....
how about a C sports coupe with a 5 cylinder deisel putting out
200+ HP and 400 lbs of torque!

And all the various models,
c180, c200, c230 all use the 1.8 liter set with different power levels!
Lucky yanks, we get the top of line one!
In UK I think the side skirts were an option.

 

my dealer searched for citron and there was nothing in the config i wanted. i wasnt about to let option packages go because impatience. the waiting sux, but it will all pay off.

 

I do want to see the vehicle when it comes in.

 

The real reason why: $1,150 "Special Order" option for the US market.

 

Its the C30 AMG coupe. Check this link for your ref: http://www.mbspy.com/w203c30.htm

 

yep, we've seen that.

search around and you'll find threads that are talking about the C30 CDI AMG

 

They used a green C-coupe at the LA autoshow in 2001 to introduce the car. It got my attention and I decided right there that I wanted a C-coupe!

 

I just can't figure out what our little cars would so with that much torque!
Talked to a guy with that engine in a large van the other day whilel getting gas on the grapevine, he said the thing had massive torque. 5 cylinder turbo diesel, 3.0 liter.
It was a small Freightliner van, never seen one in CA, he said they're pretty common in CT.
