C32 AMG
The C32 interior is just OK. I think the durability is crap tho. MB doesn't make them like they used to. BMW seems to hold together better. The upgraded AMG nappa leather is nice only for the first couple months. I think the regular leather on the other C-Class models is more durable, not as good a scent, but more durable.

you get what you pay for. Alcantara w/nappa leather insert, alcantara steering wheel, real carbonfiber interior trim, 18" multi-spoke low profile rims and tires, 10 more hp (new cams and a modified electronic mangement system, short throw shifter, and a M-tuned suspension. I think it's worth it.
now ya talkin !!

because the nappa leather is softer.

I don't know if CHEAP is the right word...but def doesn't look as nice !

The 330i with the Sport & Premium pkg has the wood...still looks sporty, still looks good !

Look again! They're so similar it's not funny! There are nearly 30 years between those designs! Does it really look like that to you? Not me!

Compare the dash of a 1975 Mercedes 240 to a 2003 C 240 and THAT will show you a difference!
actually, try 1977 mercedes 300d to a 1996 mercedes c36...u will find a striking resemblence there...the way the buttons r on the center consoles, around the tranny...and even that "temperature in the water" sign that i always thought looked like a sail boat when i was a kid rid'n my grandpa's 300d (which btw, i can still point one out to u miles away just by hearing the engine )...

here's a pic i borrowed from daimler300cd on benzworld


there are some real similarities to the c36...the window buttons below the shifter...the funky gated shifter itself....the power mirror adjustment button....woah...hehe
