hahaha! it seems the C230 should come standard with "make-up-tronic" to help all those lady drivers apply that life-giving layer of paint in the mornings.

c230 kompressor
Me and my friend talked about this earlier.
I am really attracted to the C230, mainly because of the incredible interior. All I see however, is women driving this car. I asked my friend what he thought about it and he promptly said "its a women's car". I meen I really like this car, but I dont want to get one if everyone thinks I am gay or something ya know? I like it, but it seems everyone else thinks its a chick car. I just dunno. Now I am leaning to the 325i, but I just dont like the interior all that much.
I dunnnno

Not to bust your bubble, but I seem to notice a lot of 'chicks' driving Beemers around here lately. But that might just be me.

Not that it matters to me much. Bimmers are nice cars, too. Both are from my home country. Did I mention Audi? So many cars, so little money. But the C230K has it all. For both guys and dolls.

Yes on Chick-magnet

Hell yeah, it's a chick magnet car. Tons of stares from the ladies on the streets. Once I park next to a cafe and 2 model like beauties were just staring at me, I mean my car.

BMW's have a sterotypical audience of punk ricer kids and women.

If you had to ask me, there is no true "chicks" Mercedes Benz, although if I had to pick an MB I would go with the SLK series, I have not seen one man at all driving an SLK except for the rare times I see an SLK32.

Hell, even Mercedes Benz has women driving the SLK in one of their commercials!

Hey - nobody calls the Miata a chick car?!? Because it makes you feel like a kid again when you drive one - an age where you don't worry about gender roles so much (I used to play with girls who were into Matchbox cars instead of Barbie dolls).

The Benz gives you a similar feeling. So both guys and dolls love it. Speaks *for* the car, doesn't it. Let's refer to it as a car for chicks *and* chucks, shall we?

Hey man, I'm getting a C230K Sport Coupe!
Hey that's great man, what color are you going for black or silver?
Paprika.
Oh...with the cool black leather interior, right?
No. Oyster.
Oh...well....you're getting a stick, right?
No. Auto.
But you went with the 17-inch wheel package, right?
No. I'm getting the standard 16's.
Nice car man. Nice!

I'm stubborn. I refuse to add an "a" to my first name even with this configuration!

Mercedes' are non-gender specific. My guess is that the G-class is going to be a "dude" car but I haven't seen enough of them on the road to know for sure. Outside of that model, I can't think of any Mercedes that is always driven by a woman or by a man. It's not like a Ford Probe or just about anything made by Volkswagon.
