C230 C-Coupe
In N Cal it was not on this weekend. I watched all three shows advertising the C-Coupe was to be reviewed. Actually the show about the Detroit motor show.

Anyone else get stumped on that this weekend?

Well, I'm so crazy about the C230, I ordered the episode directly from Motorweek. Five minutes of C230 heaven. They really tested pretty hard. Acceleration tests, braking and handling tests. Too bad it didn't have the roof though. That would be killer to see.

I actually remembered to turn it on at 9am on Saturday, and I got the c230 in the previews part. I hope that it's on next Sat.

I usually tune in for three reasons: to see how John Davis' combover looks that day, to see what kind of filler the mechanic does (does he get any questions from viewers?), and to see the hostess of the autonews section with the triple-digit scrabble score last name (forget what it actually is). Maybe she could take Vanna's place on wheel of fortune.

I met Mr. Davis at the Ny Auto show a couple of years back. He's like 10 feet tall! Shook his hand, glad he gave it back. Love that show, the cadence is kinda funny though. Pat Goss does the same thing.
