more...
it will cover DD duties just fine...
Best Part: Outside, tremendous lines, nice proportions.
Worst Part: Interior Plastics.
How it drives? Drive train is very smooth, too smooth if you ask me but its fine. Steering ratio is a little weird. But after this everything is...
no just kidding, but its weird... outside rear view mirrors are huge, I mean SUV huge, I'm used to this...
but the new C's mirrors are just oversized... I'll post more as I drive , ok... if you want to check some of my rides here:

debadging looks good!
i saw in another picture on this forum that there was a push button statr (in fact someone was criticizing its location) but in your car it seems to have the ol' laser key approach...
I am wondering if there is an a la carte option to get keyless start, like BMW offers (cheap *******s, the Japs give it to us for free!). Or does it not exist at all?

I personally think the car looks HOT
The mirrors do look a little funny, but I still think it goes well with the whole car. I don't exactly like the feel of the materials in the inside, but it's supposed to be a lot more durable than the older materials. I definitely think it looks good though. Inside and out!

I like it!! The interior plastics look a little shiny, so maybe that adds to the cheap look of it. But, the important thing is, how do the plastics feel?
I think the mirrors are a needed change from the puny mirrors of the previous generation.

I debaged myself because its a 3.0L and had C280 badge on it... and I like my cars naked anyway...
soon to be debadged
unlikely to be debadged
and I may rebadge the 997 with a 911 badge...
