Thumbs down Coupe: A car for women? That's what MB says

take a look at this guys:


"To risk a generalization about the new 2-door that's due here this fall, the primo consumer group for the $30,000-something car will be 30-something women. It would thrill Mercedes-Benz Canada no end to see those ladies turn up in their dealerships, since the company historically sells almost exclusively to men of a more advanced vintage."

WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

oh well...it's a bit different here. Most 30-40 women here drive ML, E and S class. A lot of the C Coupes are driven by younger asian chicks..

As for the 30-40 y/o women: Yes, the ML's, E's, and S's are purchsaed by their two-timing astronaut husbands who work overseas in HK and have mistresses and possibly a second secret family.

As for the younger asian chicks: Yes, the Coupes are purchased by these same fathers but the daughters won't have to shell out a penny to pay for the car. I'm not surprised there. What is really sick, is they don't even have to pay for gas!

I think the thing that makes us more sick is seeing some 16 years old driving ///M, AMG and Porsche running down the street. You probably know what I mean since you are from Vancouver too.

Yes I know what you mean. I've seen a fair amount in Richmond. Punks who can't even make their own bedsheets driving to Kwantlen College in M3's and AMG's. Very common here.

These parents should come to realize this is not a good way to train their kids to earn a living and be independent.

Another thing that **** me off is those ladies with big MB. They do cause troubles on the road sometimes. Once I was driving home and there's this lady with a C32, she stopped in the middle of the insection while it's green light. I was like...what the hell ??!?!??!? Sometimes I just wonder if they have their license or not. Also, whenever there's an accident involve with teenager, everyone will say it's illegal street racing. Last time I was driving and hit another car, those ****ers said I was street racing. But I was the only car that was driving on the street.

I think it actually depends on which area you are living in

So, how exactly is your little blurb 'MB says so'? Sounds like the rantings of some jaded automotive journalist.

BTW, this is easily the dumbest thread since the seat thread. I want my 30 seconds back.

It's also a pretty common car among young men who don't have girlfriends, in the West End of Vancouver at least, if you know what I mean
