Its Pewter Grey with a black interior for anyone wishing to buy one! There's even a CL500 (might be a CL600, I forget) on the lot!

whenever a C32 comes here, it's either taken or for display only.damn, lets get this finish
my original post was to comparethe C32 and the C230 sedan, which one more worthy... now i know the answer... the C230 is much worthy than the C32.

Of course, what it's REALLY lacking is a true manny - that would shore up a lot of the issues that many people have with it. The wallow can be fixed with better suspension parts, but the C32 will always be lesser than the M3 if they persist in the slushbox-only variant. And not offering a manny does say something about how they position the car vs. the M3.

Tommy, I can't get enough of your manual transmission posts. Maybe you and Buell could have your own *****ing and whining thread?

I'm not whining - I didn't spend 50 large on an old man's car.

C32
The C32 is actually less than $9000 more expensive than a similarly equipped C320. And for that you get the AMG engine, Brembo Brakes, Wheels/Tires. You can't compare a C230 sedan to the C32.

There's not a chip on any AMG owner's shoulder...we're all quite happy passing M3s in our old man's car. Of course, you're busy getting smoked by Minis and GTIs with your manual transmission.
Then again, if a "smurf blue" interior is one of the indicators of a "hip" car, then I'll be over here in the left lane (speeding my way to my AARP meeting) if you need me.

I was gonna say something, but then I read about Harris's post which said pretty much what I want to say.
Different cars has different perception of speed because of different suspension settings, seating positions, and other factors.
Our family minivan feels mighty fast when it's going 80mph.
