some info on the future of the c-class (hyper C coupé)

sorry about the scanned image quality... when i have a little more time and if people have difficulty reading it, i'll type it up. from march issue of CAR magazine.

i saw the SL (old style) w/ the joysticks (i think there was one on the left, and one on the right) - and the driver was doing circles and other turns; he was very impressed and i was impressed. but i'd have to really try it to see.

btw, CAR is running a special subscription for US - $85 / 12 issues + 3 prints. if anyone is interested, i'll post a pic of the coupon in the mag. normally, i think it costs something like £85.

Interesting article!

Replacing the wheel with a joystick?? sounds kinda "Knight Rider"!

Sounds like there will be a lot of different options on the new C class (probably less in the US). If I end up getting a new C class, I'm sure all of the choices will make the decision even tougher!!
