C230 C-Coupe
Galaxy, it is a bit like getting the suggested leather. I would buy a TT but the sensible person on my shoulder keeps telling me what to do. It says the TT is impractical but the other shoulder is clever and the C-Coupe was well argued.
Everytime I look at an older MB, I think the C-Coupe will also age well. Old MBs have aged well and I don't think consistantly any other car can make such a claim.

c230k, black, auto, c2 (let the sunshine in), Bose, leather, and CD
That's so true. I just finished with a nasty lemon law suit against VW-Audi and my stepmother traded in her A6 because it was in the shop the whole time. Benz is much better even though the TT wins on looks.

It's long been a secret what men wear under their Scottish kilts. But 4-year-old Carli Macklin knows how to solve that little mystery.
"Lift it up and look," said Carli, as she watched the Omaha Scottish Country Dancers, clad in period Scottish clothing -- including kilts -- doing a lively jig Saturday morning during the Ethnic Festival in downtown Grand Island. The men in the group all wear kilts and most drive BMW Z3's said said Duane Burns of Grand Island as he stood on the corner of Wheeler and Third streets, watching as the group performed on the main stage. "It's pretty strange"

Hey everyone,
My dad said that when I graduate from high school, he would consider buying me a C230, which I would just love! They are so cool. The only problem is, every time I see one, it is driven by a teen age girl! I have told my friends that I might get one and they tell me its a chick car... What do you guys think?

C240
Back to the topic at hand, I kind of agree, actually; at least here in Westwood, most C230 drivers are younger females by and large. Unfortunately for me, most C240 drivers are OLD PEOPLE.... Which is worse, I think. Arrrghhhhhhhh.

03 c320 coupe
its the 1st time i see this thread so :
all my friends do say that the c230 (& specially the coupe) is a chick car... get it in red and you are officialy a girl...
my opinion is this, i see more girls in convertible clk's than in cl203/w203... same case and even worse with slk's... so if w203 are for girls, that will leave us with cl's and s's... you better b damn rich...

03 g35 coupe...........02 c32 Sold
alright, i'll throw in my two cents. At the end of the day, your the one paying for your car, no one else is. So drive what ever the hell you want, who cares what other people think. Long as you like what you drive.

I do wanna add that I get more compliments from girls/women so maybe the car appeals to more women and that's just fine with me. 
Just the past weekend I was sitting in the passenger seat infront a club waiting for my DD and some chick came up to me and asked me if it was my car. She said she loves my car. lol. I would've talked to her more but my DD was my GF lol so I just said thanks.

total chick car, its worse than a new vw bug. 
who the F cares?!? take the gift and say thank you; most people would be very happy with such a generous gift at such a young age. heck, most people have to work their butt off to be able to afford to buy their own car.
is the OP graduating from college soon? i wonder what daddy will buy for him this time???

A few days after I bought it, the oil check light comes on. I'm under the hood for the first time at a gas station trying to guess where I put the oil in and where the dipstick is....
A 20-something comes by in a lowered civic to say, "Nice car, lady." I cut through a back driveway to adjust the air in the tires at another gas station. A very beat up older guy is standing on the back of a truck lift: "Nice car!" I pass through road construction on a mountain road, and the flag guy says, "Nice car, lady." I drive a 70-year old priest to the airport after a weeklong spiritual retreat: he runs his hands on the passenger dashboard and says, "I'm really admiring this." And of course, women think it's cool, too.
