C-Coupe in Spain

I've been in Madrid all week, and I've seen more C-Coupes than any other make/model. I'd say their pretty popular over here.

I also saw a new S-40...in a very light citron color. Actually looks really good.

I wonder if they are cheaper over there, though it's not a surprise since most of Europe uses compact cars

Isn't that what people said after the first gas pricing issue? And look where we are now; newer generation and the issues are the same.

U.S. is far from there yet... My co-workers driving SUVs are already screaming. I don't mind - hate SUVs

C320 Coupe
While I was in Italy, I saw several C180s and C200CDIs. Far more C's than 3 series BMWs. Far, far more E's than 5 series BMWs.

europe???

In Europe all cars are smaller than in US (except american cars),
because we have smaller roads and the fuel cost a lot, also 75% of new cars beeing sold in europe runs with diesel!!!!

That's why I bought a C220 CDI sport coupe with 143BHP and 340Nm of torque and It run better or the same than a c230 kompressor with 192BHP, and with 500€ I can put it running like a lightning!!! with a chip tunning it can develops 180BHP and 450Nm of torque and more than 240 km/h top speed!!!

So, why whe bought smaller cars that run with diesel???
because whe have them!!!

And it's not because they are cheaper, example: a new c230 kompressor sport coupe full equipped in Portugal costs around 52500€ and a c220 cdi sport coupe costs around 55000€!!!!

thats for you think about it!!!!
