if the C-class isn't a Mercedes, is the E-class a Mercedes? Or only the S-class is a Mercedes?

A for effort.

LMFAO.

Wake up call: just because you drive a certain car doesn't mean you earn more/less. I know a few people who make 200k+ a year but drive ****ty cars. On the other hand, here on this forum I see a bunch of people who spend their entire annual income (and more sometimes) on their cars.

And then there are the used car buyers, or the kids with rich parents...

For the W209 CLK convertible, Karmann builds the entire car from the chassis up (except the motor, which I think is built at Untertürkheim), the non-convertible W209s are built at the Bremen plant. Both the convertible and non-convertible versions of the W208 CLK were built by Karmann.

no offfense to anyone but he is a "girlie man", i mean check out his name apricot scrub??? As for japanese toyotas coming here as lexus its totally true since they couldnt make it into the luxury market they just had to adjust rename their product line up. Anyone notice how the Lexus LS430 series looks exactly like the previous S class...just with rounder corners...the roofline s exactly the same....japanese cars are reliable and their good at copying just they have no soul

If the retarded who sayed that stupid things about MB come to europe (Portugal) and buy a lexus IS200 for 30000€ and after that went to a MB dealer to buy a c230 for 50000€, he understand what is a MB!!!

This is why we should be doing this stuff during normal waking hours. Perhaps a Red Bull would have provided an extra boost of consiousness.

Damn girl, you were burning the midnight oil on this. If you need chuckles, you need to check out the Ownage page on the Off Topic Forum.

If you are up past 2 a.m., perhaps you need a boyfriend?
