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:

I'll be adding C280 pics as time passes by... until then and enjoy

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?

That first pic makes it look like the newest "Crossover" SUV wannabe. :-)

Please tell me that it's not really that far off the ground....

currently drive the 83 300SD
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.
