Thanks for all your opinions 
We ended up ordering the white. I loved the red too, but I think it looks better on the coupe.
Here's what's on its way:
05 Sport Sedan (alabaster white)
ash interior (I want everything to get dirty
)
auto
navi
sunroof package
power driver seat/memory
xenon lighting package
split rear seat (for carrying lumber :p )
Now I can't wait until it gets here...
Thanks again.

The 3.2 is nice, but I think the difference is about 6-7K for the sedan. The 1.8 is the "bargain" of the line.

Tom,
Those prices you quoted are for Sedans correct?
Remember there is a C320 Coupe too, and it is a bargain compared to the C320 Sedan.
The 2005 C230 Sports Sedan at FJ had auto, CD changer, sunroof for $34K

C320 Coupe
since my car is leased and i plan to buy my next one, i'm actually considering forgoing the v6 power for more options and the standard sportier features of the c230 sedan.
citron, or anyone else for that matter, since you currently own the 4 cylinder kompressor engine, how would you rate it power wise? is it satisfactory? does it feel quick? is it much noisier than the v6? i only got to briefly test drive the c230 kompressor, so i couldn't really tell other than the obvious power difference between it and the c320. thanks.
