C320 is history, both Coupe and Sedan.

C350 Sedan replaces it in the states.

The C240...I'm not sure what happens to it...I know that the little mousewheel motor in the C240 is being tossed out with the C320- both motors are nearly identical, and built from the same parts and architecture. The C240 is already NOT a 2.4. Its a 2.6. Supposedly a new 2.8 or 3.0 Variant of the new 4 cam motor will power a low end C sedan. Will it be called a C240, C250, C280 or C300? Who knows with MB.

You may want to reconsider if you have to pass an 18-wheeler on a 2-lane road.

Maybe from 50+ Mph, but not 35 Mph.

In Late December 2002, my dealer said there was going to be a C230 SS or C320 coupe. Good thing I read MB World instead of listening to my dealer
