... cars like the C230 Sports Coupe and its cheaper interior materials, tractor-like Kompressor motor and less than $26,000 sticker ...

Autoweek never even reviewed a C-class, at least it can't be found in their archives.
I have to admit that the cloth interior in most color combination does not appeal to me, hence I have leather
But tractor motor! That's too much... She is not entitled to bash our engine, unless she owns one

Because for every person who buys an entry-level C-Class—who puts up with Korean-looking interior cloth and roller shade-like sunroofs—there’s a longtime Mercedes loyalist who understands the E is what Mercedes does best.
I though the sunroofs were glass?
at least the damn loyalists know we are scum.

As for the tractor motor, come-on folks. There's a thread on the current page on this very topic https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...hlight=startup and there have been several similar threads in the past on this forum. She probably got the idea for the terminology by reading it here!

I did enjoy the article. I must admit that I do like the look of the new E over the old one. I think that the instrumant cluster looks really nice in comparison to the C. I wonder what the AMG version will be? E50?

I just realized that when I clicked on the "2003 E-Class Photo Gallery", for every picture that came up, I also got an ad for BMW!! Think this is intentional??
Hmmmmm....

I think the AMG version is to be a supercharged E55.

That's OK, das, we have our own peculiar ways of having fun!
Dad is an attorney (corporate, mostly construction contract litigation) age 48
stay-at-home mom until we were all in junior-high, then she went back to law school... now she's a contracts attorney too. age 47
best car I got was 10-grand worth of Integra for my HS graduation in '97 (drove a beater accord before that)
the first new car my 'rents ever owned was a 1998 Cherokee (NOT-Grand)
Second new car they ever bought was a 1998 Dodge Ram with all the fixins (dad's dream)
first "premium" car they owned is mom's current '02 ML320.
I'm gravy-training off my wife for 7 more weeks until graduation. she pays for my bimmer.
I never had a nanny, but strangely enough... that is what my wife does for a living, so I guess you can say that I've "had" a nanny
My parents went to Boca once, for a soccer coaches school.
and yes, I go fishing with my dad (and 2 brothers) quite often (less-often now, we sold the (very small 5.5hp) boat and usually go hunting instead)
ok, i think I defended myself a little... oh good lord, who's kidding, I'm WAAAAYYYYY out-numbered here! oh well, its still fun.

THANKS GREG!! they really don't bug me that bad, as you said before, the nut cases at clubRSX.com are WAY worse... although, I do admit that I actually value the opinion of the members here at MBWorld... those rsx-ers are just a freaking laugh a minute... myopia at its finest.

You're an integral part of this board and you'd be dearly missed, das. Nothing like a little friendly bantering to loosen up in between all that tough tech talk.

Hmm. What is Korean-looking interior? Do Koreans have tacky interior? Go look at the XG300 from Hyundai. It only comes with leather. I am offended that someone would actually print this in a magazine. I am Korean and I dont know what her problem is. If she (the author) doesnt like Koreans then she should keep it to herself.

Sorry Brabus couldn't resist, but I did find the Korean comment offensive.

Like finding the term korean seats offensive.
I wasn't finding what you typed offensive.
